Appeal Court Upholds Aiyedatiwa’s Election as Ondo Governor
The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure has affirmed the election of Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the duly elected Governor of Ondo State.
In a unanimous judgment delivered on Thursday, a three-member panel of the appellate court struck out multiple appeals challenging Aiyedatiwa’s victory in the November 16, 2024 governorship poll.
The court ruled that the appeals lacked merit and failed to provide sufficient grounds to overturn the decision of the election tribunal, which had earlier upheld Aiyedatiwa’s election.
This judgment solidifies Aiyedatiwa’s mandate and puts to rest the legal tussle surrounding his emergence as governor.
