Osun Guber: APC Withdraws Petition Challenging Gov Adeleke’s Victory
Adedamola said he never authorized the petition, and the tribunal later struck it out after withdrawal motions from the PDP and APC legal teams.
- On Tuesday, Peoples Democratic Party candidate Wole Oluyede formally withdrew his petition at the Election Petition Tribunal challenging the re-election of Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
- Oluyede stated his decision was predicated on appeals from "important people," specifically President Bola Tinubu, to prioritize Ekiti's collective betterment and de-escalate tensions.
- Separately, the All Progressives Congress withdrew its petition against Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on Tuesday after legal counsel Oluseyi Oyagbile received withdrawal instructions via WhatsApp.
- Meanwhile, PDP candidate Adebayo Adedamola disowned a petition filed in his name against Adeleke, asserting he never authorized the challenge and actually supported the governor's re-election.
- Aligning with broader political consolidation, four major court cases challenging Senator Solomon Adeola's governorship candidacy in Ogun State were dismissed on September 7.
