BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds Dapo Abiodun’s election as Ogun Gov
The Supreme Court has confirmed the election of Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun.
The appellants, Ladi Adebutu and the Peoples Democratic Party, asked the Supreme Court to order the Independent National Electoral Commission to hold new elections in the 99 polling locations where elections were allegedly cancelled.
Abiodun’s re-election was affirmed by the Appeal Court, Lagos Division, in a split judgment on November 24, 2023.
Justice Joseph Ikyegh delivered the majority decision, which denied the appeal brought by the PDP and its governorship candidate.
Justice Tijani Abubakar dismissed the appeal after reading the lead judgment.
