On July 17, 2022 Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission, declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke, the winner of the Osun State governorship election held on Saturday, July 16.
On November 27, 2022, Adeleke was sworn in as the sixth governor of Osun State. It was one momentous event he used to maximum effect to, once again, exhibit his dexterity on the dance floor. Consequently, Babayemi headed for the Federal High Court in Osogbo seeking to be declared the valid governorship candidate of the PDP, but the court affirmed Adeleke as the validly elected governorship candidate.
Expressing confidence that Babayemi would yield to sound reasoning, a party chieftain in the state and Director of Media, Oladele Oluwabamiji, said efforts were ongoing to pacify the factional governorship candidate.
