The Supreme Court will on July 5 deliver its judgement in the appeals filed by Senator Ademola Adeleke of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the last governorship election in Osun State.
Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Muhammad Tanko, led a seven-man panel of the court in deciding the date on Monday.
Adeleke, who filed four appeals, is challenging the May 9 judgements of the Court of Appeal, Abuja which upheld the election of Adegboyega Oyetola of All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor of Osun State.
The apex court on Monday took submissions from both counsels in respect of Adeleke’s main appeal marked SC/553/2019.
The court said its judgement in the main appeal will be applied to two similar ones filed by Adeleke against the Court of Appeal’s decision in relation to the appeals filed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and APC.
The court is considering the last appeal by Adeleke marked: SC/556/2019.
