Tribunal Proclaims Makinde As Oyo State Governor
The Oyo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the application filed by Chief Bayo Adelabu, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the March 2, 2019 election.
Adelabu, in his application, prayed the court to announce him the winner of the election or order a rerun, recounting that the election was marred with irregularities, over-voting and lack of proper accreditation. However, the tribunal believed that he failed to “prove substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act”.
Delivering the final ruling, the three-man tribunal led by Justice Sirajo Muhammed, ruled that the APC and its candidate failed to prove the allegation of corrupt practices, over-voting, improper accreditation, inaccurate ballot counting and non-compliance with the 2010 Electoral Act as amended.
