Recall that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Ladi Adebutu, had dragged Abiodun before the Tribunal, alleging that the governor did not win the majority of votes cast during the March 18 governorship election.

Oladipupo Adebutu is challenging the declaration of Abiodun as the winner of the March 18 election in the state.

PDP and Adebutu in the petition marked, EPT/OG/GOV/03/2023 had dragged Abiodun and APC to the Tribunal, accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of non-compliance to the Electoral Act and corrupt practices during the election.

The petitioners also alleged that elections were disrupted by thugs in over 99 polling units, disenfranchising over 40,000 voters from participating in the election.

In September, Adebutu’s petition was dismissed by Justice Hamidu Kunaza-led tribunal for lacking merit.

At the Court of Appeal, Adebutu also lost in a two-to-one split judgement.

Not satisfied, Adebutu headed to the Supreme Court to seek justice, describing the Court of Appeal judgement as “only temporary.”
