The Supreme Court on Monday fixed July 5th 2019 to deliver its judgment in the dispute arising from the September 2018 governorship election in Osun State between Governor Adegboyega Oyetola who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Senator Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
PDP and its candidate in the said election, Senator Ademola Adeleke, had filed four separate appeals before the apex court to challenge the Abuja Division Court of Appeal’s decision affirming APC and Adegboyega Oyetola as the winner of the poll.
A seven-man panel of the apex court led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, has heard one of the appeals on Monday.
The decision in the particular appeal filed by Adeleke is to be binding on two other appeals, while the fourth appeal will be heard and a judgment delivered on it separately.
The seven man-panel rose after hearing the first appeal on Monday.
