THE All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the July 16 2022 Governorship election, Adegboyega Oyetola, has approached the Appeal Court to further seek the disqualification of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun.
It will be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had on July 17 announced Senator Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the July 16 Governorship election.
But Oyetola and his party, the APC, approached the court to challenge the victory on the grounds that there was over-voting and that Senator Ademola Adeleke was not eligible to run at the time.
After weeks of sitting, the Tribunal agreed with Oyetola and APC that they were able to prove a case of forgery against the Osun Governor but held that it was not enough to make him ineligible since he had acquired additional qualifications.

The Tribunal however held that there was indeed over-voting and it deducted the invalid votes from the valid votes and declared Oyetola as winner of that election.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the Tribunal, INEC, Senator Ademola Adeleke and the PDP have all appealed the judgement.
