BREAKING: Osun 2022 Governorship Appeal Judgement Defers

VOICE AIR MEDIA News Update

THE Appeal Court, on Monday, postponed judgement on the Osun State Governorship Appeal filed by Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Adeleke had, on February 9th, appealed the judgement of the Osun State Governorship Tribunal, which nullified his election and ruled in favour of the former Governor of the State, Gboyega Oyetola.

Gov Adeleke prayed the court to reject the ruling of the Osun State tribunal describing it as a “miscarriage of justice”.

VOICE AIR MEDIA recalls that the tribunal had ruled in favor of Gboyega Oyetola, the former Governor of the State, who had successfully proved over-voting in some of the polling units.

However, Governor Adeleke contests the ruling, stating that the tribunal erred in law by returning the first respondent as the duly elected candidate without due regard to the enormity of the voters in the units where the results were cancelled for over-voting.

The postponement of the verdict by the Court of Appeal has raised questions about the next steps in the legal battle and the implications of the ruling for the Osun State governorship election.

The legal battle underscores the importance of the judiciary in ensuring the integrity of the electoral process and upholding the rule of law.

The final verdict in the case will be eagerly awaited by Nigerians, as it will have significant implications for the country’s democratic process and the role of the judiciary in upholding the rule of law.
