SaharaReporters earlier reported that the tribunal nullified the election of Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party and declared the former Governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress the winner of the governorship election conducted on July 16, 2022. The former governor, among several issues, contended that there was over-voting in 749 polling units across 10 local government areas of the state.
The tribunal 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 and therefore declared that the electoral body, the INEC should withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Governor Adeleke and issue the same to Oyetola.
