Court Dismisses PDP Suit against Governor Amosun

A five-man court of appeal sitting in Ibadan the Oyo state capital, South West Nigeria has dismissed the appeal filed by the PDP challenging the victory of the Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun in the last April governorship election in the state for lack of merit.

It would be recalled that the three-man election tribunal headed by Justice Basir Sukola which sat in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital upheld the victory of the governor dismissing allegations of rigging, ballot stuffing and intimidation of voters brought by the PDP.

The Presiding judge of the Appeal Court, Justice Raphael Agbo has however set aside 5th of January for the reasons for the dismissal.

The lead counsel to the governor, Olumide Ayeni commended the judgment, saying that it was the reflection of the mandate given to the governor by the people of the state, while the counsel to the PDP, Ayo Amao declined comment on the issue.
