OYETOLA VS ADELEKE: What They Said After The Judgement (Video)
Nigeria’s Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had on Saturday set aside the decision of the Osun State Governorship Tribunal and upheld the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the governor of the state.
Following the governorship polls in the state, an Election Petition Tribunal had sacked Adeleke from office, saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate did not score a majority of lawful votes during the July 16 governorship polls.
Now let’s watch and listen to what they said after the verdict.

The unanimous agreement by a three-man panel led by Justice Mohammed Shuaibu, the Court of Appeal quashed the tribunal’s judgement and gave its verdict to uphold Adeleke as rightful governor of Osun State.
