Senator Adeleke
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun
State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has filed a petition at the Election
Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo to challenge the victory of the
governor-elect, Gboyega Oyetola.
According to PUNCH, the petitioner and his party, the PDP, are
praying the tribunal headed by Justice T.A. Igoche, to nullify the
victory of the governor-elect and declare him the winner of the poll
because he polled the highest number of lawful votes cast and met other
requirements of the law.
The deputy governorship candidate of the PDP, Albert Adeogun; and
the Chairman of the PDP in the state, Soji Adagunodo, led counsels who
filed the petition at the tribunal registry.
Adagunodo, who addressed journalists after the filing of the
petition, said the party and the first petitioner were optimistic of
victory.
