The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the September 2018 election in Osun State challenging the election of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress.

The apex court’s panel of seven Justices held that the proceedings and the majority judgment of the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal which had declared the PDP as the winner of the poll were a nullity .

Justice Bode Rhodes- Vivour who read the lead majority judgment of the apex court held that the absence of Justice Peter Obiorah who later read the lead judgment of the tribunal during the February 6 , 2019 hearing , had rendered the entire proceedings of the said tribunal and its judgment a nullity.

The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad , and three other members consented to the lead majority judgment but Justice Kumai Akaahs and Justice Paul Galinje affirmed PDP as the winner of the poll.
