The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate in the August 9, 2014 governorship election in Osun state, Iyiola Omisore, against the election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Rauf Aregbesola.

The seven-man panel of the Apex (Supreme) Court, led by Justice John Fabiyi, affirmed the concurrent judgments of the Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State capital, and the Osun State Election Tribunal, which had both affirmed Aregbesola winner of the election.

The Presiding Jugde, Justice C.C Nweze, who read the lead judgment, resolved six out of seven issues formulated by the appellant against him.
