In a split ruling on Friday, the Appeal Court Lagos Division affirmed Prince Dapo Abiodun’s re-election as the validly elected governor of Ogun State in the March 18, 2023, governorship election.
The appeal filed by Peoples Democratic Party candidate Ladi Adebutu in the 2023 governorship election was denied by the majority judgment handed by Justice Joseph Shagbaor Ikyegh.
However, Justice Jane Esienanwan Inyang’s minority decision permitted the appeal and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to hold a new election within 90 days.
