Appeal Court dismisses Omisore’s petition, reaffirms Aregbesola as Osun governor

The Court of Appeal has thrown out a petition filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2014 governorship election in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, against the victory of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

The court, sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, threw out Omisore’s petition on Thursday. It went on to affirm the election of Aregbesola.

It said Aregbesola, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, remains the validly elected governor of Osun State.
