Gov Elect, Ademola Adeleke Wins At Appeal Court

The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure on Wednesday ruled in favor of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP.

It will be recalled that the Dotun Babayemi who contested in the PDP governorship primaries went to court to challenge the validity of the primaries conducted by the national leadership that produced Sen Adeleke as the party’s candidate.

The PDP in Osun State, on March 8, conducted two governorship primaries featuring Adeleke and Babayemi.

While the primary, which was held at the Osogbo City Stadium, under the supervision of Deputy Governor of Bayelsa, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, produced Adeleke, Babayemi was declared the winner at the primary held at the Children and Women Development Centre, Osogbo.

Consequently, Babayemi headed for the Federal High Court in Osogbo, seeking to be declared the valid governorship candidate of the PDP.

But the court, in a judgment by Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel, affirmed Adeleke as the validly-elected governorship candidate of the Osun State PDP.

Dissatisfied with the ruling, Babayemi filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal, Akure, challenging the judgment of the lower court and seeking to be declared as the PDP governorship candidate.
