It’s all over for Omisore, as Supreme Court upholds Aregbesola’s victory

by Kolapo Olapoju

The Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the August 9, 2014 governorship election in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, has lost his final appeal to nullify the victory of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

The Supreme Court has just dismissed the appeal filed by Omisore against the election of Aregbesola.

Omisore had urged the apex court through his counsel, Dr. Alex Izinyon (SAN), ‎to set aside the concurrent judgments of the Court of Appeal and Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

The seven-man panel of the Supreme court, led by Justice John Fabiyi, affirmed the concurrent judgments of the Court of Appeal in Akure‎ and the Osun State Governorship Election Tribunal, which had both affirmed Aregbesola the winner of the election.

The seven-man panel unanimously held that the appeal lacked merit and was bound to be dismissed.
