APC's Gboyega Oyetola has been declared winner of the Osun governorship election by INEC

The Supreme Court has dismissed Peoples Democratic Party’s petitions in a five against two split judgment, upholding Gboyega Oyetola of the APC as the elected governor of Osun State.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Senator Ademola Adeleke challenging the declaration of Gboyega Oyetola as the winner of the Osun State governorship election.

The verdict of the apex court is in tandem of that of the Court of Appeal that nullified the judgement of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that declared PDP’s Adeleke winner of the September 2018 polls.
