Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was on Friday declared winner of the 2018 Osun state governorship election by the petition tribunal sitting in Abuja.
The three-man tribunal led by Justice Ibrahim Sirajo, held that the rerun election conducted in the state after the initial poll was illegal.
According to them, Oyetola was not validly returned as the winner of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the September election but Adeleke and the PDP challenged Oyetola’s victory at the tribunal.
