The Ogun State governorship election petitions tribunal sitting in Abeokuta on Saturday upheld Governor Dapo Abiodun’s victory in the March 18 election in the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election having polled 276,298 votes to defeat his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenger, Ladi Adebutu, who garnered 262,383 votes in the exercise.
Adebutu and his party, thereafter, approached the tribunal to nullify the outcome of the election over alleged fraud.
