SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal led by Justice Tetsea Kume sacked Adeleke as governor and declared Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship election. The court subsequently deducted the over-voting observed from the votes scored by the candidates and declared that Oyetola won the election, having polled 314,921, while Adeleke’s score came down to 290,266.
However, Governor Adeleke in a letter to the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, shortly after the tribunal nullified his election as governor, appealed to the commission not to issue the certificate of return to Oyetola pending the outcome of his appeal.
