Appeal Court affirms Ogun governor’s election
In a split decision on Friday, the Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal affirmed the re-election of Prince Dapo Abiodun in the March 18, 2023, governorship election as the duly elected governor of Ogun State.
The majority judgment delivered by Justice Joseph Shagbaor Ikyegh dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party candidate Ladi Adebutu in the 2023 governorship election.
However, the minority judgment delivered by Justice Jane Esienanwan Inyang allowed the appeal and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to conduct a fresh election within 90 days.
