SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DAPO ABIODUN OF All PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS, AS OGUN STATE GOVERNOR                                                        19-01-24

By Sadiq Aminu                                                        The Supreme Court has affirmed the March 18, 2023 election of Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress, as Governor of Ogun state.

Justice Tijani Abubakar who read the lead judgment of the 5-man panel of the Supreme Court, held that the appeal was unmeritorious and deserved to be dismissed.

The apex court affirmed separate judgments of the lower courts which had dismissed Adebutu’s petition for being grossly incompetent and held that Parties should bear their respective costs.

The unanimous judgment was on the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and it’s candidate in the March 18, governorship election, Ladi Adebutu.

Adebutu had challenged Abiodun’s re-election on the grounds that the Electoral Act, 2022 was not adhered to, citing corrupt practices and issue of non-qualification.

INEC had declared Abiodun winner of the governorship election after polling 276,298 votes to defeat his closest rival Adebutu, who polled 262,383 votes.
