Osun: A’court reserve judgment on Gov Adeleke’s move to throw away tribunal verdict that sacked him
Oyeola and Adeleke
The Appeal Court on Monday reserved judgement on the case by Governor Ademola Adeleke challenging the decision of an election petition tribunal which nullified his victory in the Osun State governorship election.
Counsel for Oyetola, Lateef Fagbemi however held that mere signing of the judgment, and not making any comment afterwards does not make the judgment invalid.
Adeleke had in February appealed the judgement of the Osun State Governorship Tribunal which nullified his election.
In the 31 grounds of appeal filed, Adeleke had prayed the court for “an order setting aside the whole decision of the tribunal”.
The governor equally sought “an order striking out the petition for want of competence and jurisdiction or in the alternative, an order dismissing the petition on the merit”.
