Supreme court affirms Ademola Adeleke as Osun state governor

The Supreme Court has affirmed Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of Osun state.

The apex gave the ruling this afternoon May 9, while delivering judgment in an appeal filed by the immediate past governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC challenging the ruling of the Appeal Court which upheld the election of Adeleke.

Delivering judgment, the five-member panel of the apex court led by Justice Emmanuel Agim, held that the court of appeal correctly reinstated Adeleke as governor.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the July 16, 2022 poll, saying he scored 403,371 votes to sack Oyetola who was the then incumbent and polled a total of 375,027.

Oyetola and his party had alleged irregularities in the polls and challenged Adeleke's victory in the tribunal. On January 27, 2023, Justice Tertse Kume who gave the majority judgement upturned Adeleke's victory and declared Oyetola the winner of the poll. Justice Kume held that Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 against Adeleke's 290,266.

Not satisfied with the judgment, Adeleke and the PDP headed to the Court of Appeal, which on March 24 nullified the tribunal judgment and returned Adeleke as the winner of the state guber election. Aggrieved with the Appeal Court verdict, Oyetola and the APC went to the Supreme Court which today upheld the ruling by the Court of Appeal.

Wall gecko. This little creature called wall gecko is one of the most powerful animals used by spiritual forces to perpetrate their nefarious act against human beings in the spiritual realm. Don't forget that spiritual controls the physical. Before anything manifests in the physical, it would have first been perfected in the  spiritual realm.  When forces want to come to where you're living and have personal contact with someone, they use wall gecko. It is simply for monitoring and to deposit some spiritual problem in the life of the host.  Anytime you see wall gecko in your room, or any part of the house, just know that, a particular force is already operating in your house and by extension, your life. At times, they will be hiding and you won't notice and they would be carrying out their assignment silently. The silent one is the most deadliest. With this, things would stop operating the way it should. Many things would start going wrong. Whatever it would take you, onc...
