Court Declares Adeleke As PDP Governorship Candidate In Osun

The Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo has declared Ademola Adeleke as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state.

Justice Nathaniel Emmanuel made the declaration on Wednesday while delivering a ruling in a suit filed by a factional candidate of the PDP, Prince Dotun Babayemi.

Babayemi has asked the court to be recognised as the authentic candidate of the Party following the parallel primaries held on March 9.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has scheduled the governorship election in the state for July 16th, 2022.
