WHO IS OSUN STATE’S RIGHTFUL GOVERNOR: THE SUPREME COURT VERDICT TODAY, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 2023 

Former Osun state governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressive Congress (APC), ran the state for eight years across two sessions but still competed against other parties, including Ademola Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the Osun state election that took place on July 16, 2022.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Adeleke of the PDP was declared the winner, with Oyetola closely behind by a margin of 3.5%. Adeleke and his deputy, Kola Adewusi, were inaugurated on November 27, 2022, and have since begun working.   

However, Oyetola of the All Progressive Party was not satisfied and therefore challenged Adeleke’s victory, insisting that there were rigging and irregularities during the election, which the court should look into.

Oyetola claimed that his poll of 375,027 was incorrect, and Adeleke’s poll of 403,371 was faulty. However, Justice Tertse Kume declared on the 27th of January that Oyetola’s poll was actually 314,931 and Adeleke’s poll was 290,266, declaring Oyetola the winner. 

This verdict did not sit well with Adeleke, who then went to a higher court, the Court of Appeal, and was declared the winner on March 24, 2023.

This further aggravated Oyetola and his PDP supporters, who then called on the Supreme Court, the apex court, to help settle the dispute. The Supreme Court addressed the issue on Monday with a Nigerian TV station, Channels TV, covering the court event and hearing from both sides of the issue. Tuesday was assigned as the judgment day.

The Supreme Court has assigned today as the verdict day to give a final declaration on who won the Osun state election of 2022 and who should rightfully be the Osun state governor. Both parties are expectant, and there is tension in the air as we await the final verdict from the Supreme Court.
