The Peoples Democratic Party had petitioned the Supreme Court on Thursday to have the immediately-outgoing governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, disqualified from running for governor on July 16, 2022.
The PUNCH had previously reported that the Federal High Court had invalidated Oyetola and his running mate, Benedict Alabi, from running in the governorship election on the grounds that their nomination papers had been signed by Mai Mala Buni, the acting chairman of the APC and the governor of Yobe State.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja overturned Justice Nwite’s decision in a decision from December, and the PDP appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
