BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Reprieve came to the way of Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on Tuesday as Supreme Court reaffirmed him as the governor of the state.

The judgement was read by Justice Emmanuel Agbim on behalf of the 5-man panel of the apex court.

A five member panel of justices of the Supreme Court had on May 9 decided who between incumbent Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke and immediate past Governor, Isiaka Oyetola ought to be at the helms of the government in Osun State.

This is following the decision of the apex court to deliver its judgment in the appeal by Oyetola against the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which affirmed Adeleke as winner of the July 16, 2022, governorship on May 9.
