BREAKING: Appeal Court upholds Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s election in Ondo State

The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, has affirmed the election of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, dismissing the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Agboola Ajayi.

Aiyedatiwa, who contested under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had earlier secured victory at the Ondo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which upheld the legitimacy of his election.

The PDP and Ajayi had approached the appellate court to challenge the tribunal’s ruling, alleging electoral irregularities. However, the court found no substantial evidence to overturn the tribunal’s judgment.

With this ruling, Aiyedatiwa’s election as governor stands confirmed. Further details on the judgment are expected.
