Ademola Adeleke has been unseated as the governor of Osun State.

The development took place on Friday, January 27 as the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo sacked Adeleke as the elected governor.

In a split document of two to one, the tribunal declared that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should revoke the Certificate of Return issued to Adeleke and issue the same to former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

Per reports, the majority judgement was read by the Chairman, Justice Tertse Kume, and it stated that Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 against Adeleke’s 219,666.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State recently lauded Adeleke for his multiple intervention programmes to better the lot of residents in the region.

He was also eulogised for riding through the odds to hit the ground running as the state helmsman and committing his administration to measured deliverables to the people within the first one hundred days in office.
