apex court<\/a>, in its lead judgement they were delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim, dismissed an appeal that was lodged against Adeleke\u2019s election victory by the former governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, who was the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\nIt held that though Oyetola alleged that Adeleke won through over-voting that occurred in 774 polling units in the state, he, however, failed to produce any Bimodal Voters Accreditation System, BVAS, a machine that was used in any of the polling units to prove his allegation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is glaring that the Appellant did not provide in evidence, any BVAS, but sought to prove over-voting by means of a report of examination of INEC\u2019s database or backend server\u201d.<\/p>\n
The apex court held that since it was not in dispute that the BVAS contain a record of accredited voters, \u201cit is therefore the only direct and primary record of voters accredited at polling units on election day\u201d.<\/p>\n
It held that nothing in either Section 47 of the Electoral Act 2022 or Regulations 18- 23 of the INEC\u2019s Regulations, made it mandatory for Presiding Officers in an election to transmit by BVAS, the number of accredited voters in each polling unit to the back-end server.<\/p>\n
It dismissed evidence of purported expert witnesses that were testified in Oyeyola\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n
The apex court said it found no reason to set aside the verdict of the Court of Appeal which upheld Adeleke\u2019s election victory.<\/p>\n
It will be recalled that the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had on January 27, in a split decision, voided the declaration of Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as winner of the gubernatorial election.<\/p>\n
The Justice Tertsea Kume-led three-member panel tribunal, in its majority verdict, upheld a petition that was brought before it by the former governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who came second in the election.<\/p>\n
It held that Adeleke did not score the majority of lawful votes, adding that the conduct of the election was not in substantial compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022.<\/p>\n
According to the tribunal, the petitioners, Oyetola and APC, successfully established that there was over voting in 744 polling units in the state.<\/p>\n
After deducting the said invalid votes, the tribunal declared Oyetola as winner of the governorship contest, even as it directed the INEC to withdraw the Certificate of Return it earlier issued to Adeleke.<\/p>\n
However, in his dissenting judgement, the third member of the panel, Justice P. Ogbuli, affirmed Adeleke as the valid winner of the election, even as he struck out the petition that was lodged by Oyetola and the APC.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, following an appeal that was lodged by Adeleke and the PDP, the Court of Appeal, on March 24, reversed the judgment of the tribunal.<\/p>\n
The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, held that there was merit in Adeleke\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n
Aside from setting aside the judgement of the tribunal, the court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Mohammed Shuaibu, awarded a cost of N500, 000 against the APC and its candidate, Gboyega Oyetola.<\/p>\n
Dissatisfied with the judgement, both Oyetola and the APC took the matter before the Supreme Court where they also lost on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
