The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos in a 2 to 1 judgment on Friday has affirmed Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressive Congress, APC, as the duly elected governor of Ogun State in the March 18 poll.
The State and National Assembly Appeal Court in the majority judgment delivered by Justice Joseph Ikyegh dismissed the appeal by candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Ladi Adebutu, in the State governorship poll.
But the minority judgment delivered by Justice Jane Inyang upheld the appeal and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a fresh election in the State within 90 days.
Recall that INEC had declared Abiodun of the APC winner of the governorship election after polling 276,298 votes ahead of Ladi Adebutu of the PDP, who polled 262,383 votes.
