The election petition tribunal on Friday declared Ademola Adeleke as winner of the 2018 governorship election in Osun state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the election.
But the tribunal held that the rerun election conducted in the state after the initial poll was illegal.
Social media is currently buzzing on the judgment which was in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

From day one, I have never doubted the sacking of APC from Osun after that sham election. Today, I have once again been proven right. Adeleke has won his seat. Let the dancing continue. Oya, where is my Gbegiri!

Adeleke equalizes in second half.
The Osun match has been forced to extra time (Appeal court), maybe it will end up in penalties (Supreme court).— Dr. Bamisaye Victor (@sirveto) March 22, 2019

If i were Senator Adeleke, I would just appoint PWC & KPMG to act as receivers/administrators of Osun State…….
The State's finances are so bad that becoming Governor is actually a curse and not a blessing……
