Osun: Court nullifies Gov Oyetola's nomination as APC candidate

The court ruled that the submission of their names to INEC by Governor Mai Mala Buni violated the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act 2022.

Kehinde Ogunwumiju in April this year went to court to challenge the nomination and sponsorship of Governor Isiaka Oyetola and his deputy as the candidates of the All Progressives Congress in the Osun Election. Justice Emeka Nwite in his judgment sided with the submissions of the Plaintiff’s counsel and ruled as null and void, the nomination of Governor Isiaka Oyetola and Benedict Alabi by the APC.

The court also held that Governor Buni violated the provision of sections of the Constitution because he held dual executive positions as the Governor of Yobe State and as well, the Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of APC. The court held that all actions taken by Governor Buni, including submitting the names of Governor Oyetola and his Deputy to INEC, amounted to a nullity in law.

Double wahala for dead body.Osun state people did not for him in 2018 and in 2022 election they still didn't vote for him.He came from back door and he must go through the back door.I am very happy for the real changes coming to Nigeria

Won tun lule.

Lobatan

It's quite unfortunate for APC and the supposed right candidate. The election has come and gone. He should just summarize his last days in the office and make way for another to try.

Osun people are free of the Iragbiji Mafia...
