Ademola Adeleke has been removed as governor of Osun State by the constitutionally elected Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo.
By a vote of two to one, the tribunal ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, should revoke Adeleke’s Certificate of Return and instead issue it to former governor Adegboyega Oyetola.
In the majority ruling, which was read by the chairman, Justice Tertse Kume, Oyetola received 314,931 of the 219,666 valid votes cast, while Adeleke received just 219,666.
The minority judgement is ongoing
