The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate in the September 2018 election in Osun State , Ademola Adeleke , challenging the election of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress .
Points.
No Election: Election that was never conducted cannot be cancelled, if otherwise, tender the result signed by all parties, hence the Rerun of 27th September.
Improper filling of form EC8A, only the heading is not substantial enough for Cancellation of 17 polling units, other columns were properly filled and signed by all parties that participated in the election, Obiora judgement overruled.
A member of adjudicating panel whom was not on sit when defence witnesses were given evidence cannot write, talkless of going ahead to read the judgement (OBIORA) of the lower tribunal.
Rerun of 27th September cannot be in isolation, it is part and formed the whole 2018 OSUN Gubernatorial election, hence the sitting Governor is duly elected and returned with all constitutional rights.
"STATUS QUO" REMAINS and nothing more.
