The Court of Appeal in Lagos affirmed Dapo Abiodun’s victory as the elected governor of Ogun State in the March 18 election, in a 2-1 judgment on Friday.
The State and National Assembly Appeal Court’s majority decision, delivered by Justice Joseph Ikyegh, dismissed the appeal by Ladi Adebutu, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the state’s gubernatorial election.
However, Justice Jane Inyang’s minority decision upheld the appeal and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election in the state within 90 days.
