Appeal Court upholds Aiyedatiwa’s victory in Ondo guber poll

News Update

THE Akure Division of the Court of Appeal in Ondo State on Thursday upheld the election of the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as the winner of the November 16, 2024, governorship election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The three-member panel of the Appeal court led by Justice Yargata Nimpar unanimously ruled in Aiyedatiwa’s favour.

It affirmed the decision of the lower Ondo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which earlier validated the governor’s victory in the November 16, 2024 election.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate in the election, Agboola Ajayi, to affirm Governor Aiyedatiwa’s election.

The Justice Nimpar led panel of the appellate court dismissed Mr Agboola’s appeal, describing it as devoid of merit.
