Tribunal upholds Adeola’s election in Ogun West

The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday, upheld the victory of the senator representing Ogun West District, Solomon Adeola, in the February 25 election.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the district, Dada Adeleke, challenged Adeola’s victory in the election over alleged fraud and non-compliance with the Electoral Act in the conduct of the exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Adeola, who represented the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election, is the chairman of the senate committee on appropriation.
