The Appeal Court Lagos Division has affirmed the re-election of Governor Dapo Abiodun as the duly elected governor of Ogun State.
In a majority judgement delivered by the duo of Justices J.S. Ikyegh and Muhammed Mustapha, the appellate court dismissed the appeal brought before it by the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the state, Ladi Adebutu.
The court held that the appeal lacked merit as it found no substance in it and subsequently dismissed it, affirming the earlier decision of the Tribunal without costs.
Reacting, Abiodun on his ‘X’ handle welcomed the ruling, noting that he remains committed to the advancement and socio-economic growth of the state.
The candidate of the peoples democratic party, Adebutu, dissatisfied with the ruling of the election tribunal, had filed an appeal at the appellate court, challenging the judgment of the election petition tribunal.
