Oyo Tribunal Upheld Akeem Adedibu, Olasunkanmi Victory.
House of Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Ibadan has upheld the elections of two legislators of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the Oyo State Assembly.
According to reports, the three-man panel of justices Tribunal led by D. M. Igyuse upheld the elections of Honorable Olasunkanmi Babalola (Egbeda State Constituency) and Akeem Adeshina (Iwajowa State Constituency).
The legislators were dragged before the Tribunal by the opposition part- All Progressives Congress (APC) opponents in the last general election to challenge their victory.
Babalola, who is the Deputy Majority leader of the Oyo Assembly, was challenged by Mr Olalekan Usman, while Adeshina was also dragged before Tribunal by Mr Johnson Eroyalesun.
The Tribunal on Monday dismissed the separate petitions on account that the petitioners could neither prove nor establish their claims of irregularities in the election.
