Osun Guber Poll: Tribunal Voids Cancellation Of Election In 7 Polling Units by dammyGold03: 3:35pm On Mar 22, 2019
The Osun State Elections Petitions Tribunal in Abuja had voided the cancellation of election in seven polling units in the Osun State governorship election.

In the ruling read on behalf of a three-member panel of judges by Justice Peter Obi, the tribunal held that the returning officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had no powers to cancel the election in the seven polling units on September 22, 2018 leading to the rerun election on September 27, 2018, adding that he acted “ultra vires his powers.”



Ademola Adeleke of the PDP had 254, 698 votes against Gboyega Oyetola of the APC with 254, 345 votes before the election was declared inconclusive.

This is a victory for democracy.

Congratulations to Osunites.
Kudos to Adeleke/PDP for their doggedness.

And to all lovers of democracy and justice...lets keep the flag flying.

The middle finger to election robbers, most especially the guy whose remote control failed eventually.
