Bayo Adelabu Heads to Supreme; Appeal Court Set Aside Tribunal Ruling on Seyi Makinde Victory

On the heel of the Appeal Judgment that sets aside the Tribunal ruling which saw Bayo Adelabu challenge the victory of Gov. Seyi Makinde, The All Progressives Congress (APC) and Bayo Adelabu have gone straight to the Supreme Court' in pursuit of a fair hearing on the irregularities surrounding the Guber election. The APC submitted that the election was marred with so many irregularities and infractions which has set the ball rolling for a breathe taking final lapse at the Supreme Court.

The Court of Appeal in its judgment stated that due to the time constraints, that limited the tribunal to run its course within 180 days, they would have ordered a retrial of the Tribunal process, which invariably infer that the APC has a valid case against the victory of Seyi Makinde at the elections.

Oloye 'Bayo Adelabu is in court to seek a fair hearing after so many evidences, witnesses and documents submitted by the lawyers to seek justice. He said the election was infiltrated with so many infractions and he has gone to court to prove the irregularities and seek legal redress, which is taking its course and justice must prevail eventually.

"I told you that to be a governor is not do or die but all the written rules and regulations, guiding the election, I mean the entire electoral acts must be duly followed. We found out that (in the course of election) there were a lot of infractions, we have shown that to the whole world and at the end of the day, victory shall be ours and Oyo state will come back to the All Progressives Party, Oyo state will come back to Adebayo Adelabu and my able deputy, Insha Allah." Bayo Adelabu said.
