The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the election of Gboyega Oyetola as governor of Osun State. The apex court dismissed the appeal of Senator Ademola Adeleke challenging the declaration of Gboyega Oyetola as the winner of the Osun State governorship election. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)in September 2018 declared Oyetola winner of the Osun governorship election after a controversial rerun. The tribunal declared Adeleke winner of the election in March. In May, the appeal court nullified Adeleke and declared Oyetola as the winner of the election.
