ernorship Election Tribunal to declare Ademola Adeleke of the PDP, as winner of the controversial state election.
In a short Twitter post, Obi congratulated Adeleke, saying “Congratulations Senator Ademola Adeleke @IsiakaAdeleke1. Power to the People!”The three-man panel of the Tribunal gave the judgement on Friday following the petition filed by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ademola Adeleka against the All Progressives Congress, APC and its candidate, Gboyega Oyetola.
The Tribunal also ruled that PDP and Adeleke proved that it was the state Returning Officer who cancelled the results in 7 Polling Units, adding that the petitioners also proved that the Returning Officer has no power to cancel election results of a polling unit. The Tribunal then deducted 2,029 votes from APC scores and 1,246 votes from PDP votes in 17 polling units where there was non compliance.
