TOP STORY: Supreme court dismisses suit challenging Oyetola’s participation in Osun election | TheCable
Gboyega OyetolaA five-member panel of the apex court led by Centus Nweze, on Thursday, held that the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party lacked merit and directed Kehinde Ogunwumiju, the counsel to the PDP, to withdraw it.
Nwite, in his judgment, held that the nomination of Oyetola and his deputy, was unlawful and unconstitutional because Mai Mala Buni, who submitted their names to the Independent National Electoral Commission , violated the provisions of section 183 of the constitution and section 82 of the Electoral Act 2022.However, in December, the Abuja court of appeal set aside the judgement of the trial court and affirmed Oyetola’s nomination as the governorship candidate of the APC.
