UPDATED: Tribunal upholds Ogun Governor Abiodun’s election

The Ogun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has upheld the election of Governor Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The three-member tribunal on Saturday struck out the petition filed by Ladi Adebutu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying it is “incompetent, defective, disjunctive and lack merits.”

In its unanimous judgement that took close to 12 hours to read, the tribunal said Mr Abiodun was duly returned in the 18 March election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
