Today (Friday), the Supreme Court will deliver its final decision on the Ogun State governorship election.
The Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, are challenging Governor Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress’s election victory on March 18, 2023.
Last week Thursday, a five-member Supreme Court panel led by Justice John Okoro reserved judgement in the case after the parties adopted their last briefs.
The Publicity Secretary of the APC in Ogun State, Tunde Oladunjoye, said the party was confident of victory.
“Election petition is prosecuted in the court and not in the media. PDP and its serial governorship hopeful lost the elections when the Ogun people refused to gamble with the future of our state. they lost at the tribunal when the judges unanimously confirmed the election of Prince Dapo Abiodun. They lost at the Court of Appeal and are bound to lose at the apex court because you can’t put something on nothing,” Oladunjoye said.
Similarly, the Ogun PDP Publicity Secretary, Dr Sunday Solarin, said, “Our strong optimism about the victory at the March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election is not a mere wish but a tenacious belief in hard work, acceptability and sincerity of purpose.”
