Breaking: Sen. Ademola Adeleke Sacked as Governor of Osun state

Senator Ademola Adeleke has been sacked as Governor of Osun state by an Election Petition Tribunal chaired by Justice Tertse Kume.

The tribunal sacked Adeleke following claims of overvoting in some polling units across the State.

He ruled that after the deduction of valid votes vast from the over-voting at these polling units, immediate past governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled 314,941 while the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Ademola Adeleke polled 290, 266.

In the majority judgement issued by two judges against one, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ordered that the Certificate of Return issued to Adeleke be withdrawn and issued to Adegboyega Oyetola.
