The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure has ruled in favor of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
It will be recalled that the Dotun Babayemi who contested in the PDP governorship primaries went to court to challenge the validity of the primaries conducted by the national leadership that produced Sen Adeleke as the party’s candidate.
Two factions of the party had on March 8, 2021, conducted separate governorship primaries featuring Adeleke and Babayemi.
Babayemi was declared the winner of the primary election held at the Children and Women Development Centre in Osogbo, while the primary election held at Osogbo City Stadium and backed by the PDP national working committee produced Adeleke.
