The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal on Thursday affirmed the victory of Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State at the July 14, 2018 governorship election in the state. The three-man panel, led by Justice Stephen Adah, in a unanimous judgment, dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate in the election, Mr. Olusola Eleka. Describing the appeal as “unmeritorious,” Justice Adah affirmed the July 28, 2019 judgment of the Ekiti State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which had upheld Fayemi’s victory at the poll. The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared that Fayemi and his party, the All Progressives Congress, polled a total of 197,459 votes to defeated Eleka and the PDP who placed second with 178,121 votes in the July 14, 2018 election. Dissatisfied with the outcome, PDP and Eleka had filed their petition before the Ekiti State Election Petition Tribunal which sat and delivered its judgment in Abuja. The petitioners alleged, among others in their petition, that the election was marred by a lot of wrongs, including non-compliance with the Electoral Act. But the tribunal on January 28, 2019 dismissed their petition and affirmed the results declared by INEC. The petitioners further appealed to the Court of Appeal, raising seven issues against the judgment of the tribunal. But delivering judgment, Justice Adah, who gave only a summary of the Court of Appeal’s verdict on Thursday, resolved all the seven issues raised against the appellants and in favour of the respondents — Fayemi, INEC and APC. The court, which had conducted a hearing on the appeal earlier on Tuesday, dismissed the case in its judgment on Thursday for lacking in merit. Justices Tinuade Akomolafe-Wilson and Emmanuel Agim agreed with the lead judgment delivered by Justice Adah. The three-man panel entered the courtroom at about 7pm on Thursday but started delivering the judgment at about 7.14pm. The summary of the judgment given on Thursday lasted more than 30 minutes. Alex Akojah, the lawyer who led the petitioners’ team to court on Thursday, told journalists after the judgment was delivered that the legal team would need to be informed by their clients on whether or not they would appeal against the judgment to the Supreme Court. https://punchng.com/breaking-appeal-court-affirms-fayemis-election-dismisses-eleka-pdps-appeal/ 4 Likes 1 Share |

This case is a waste of time to me. Fayose's arrogance is to blame. He fought all party leaders by imposing his deputy who has no political value. Now he will realize that politics is all about compromise. 43 Likes 4 Shares |

We are not bothered with Ekiti. We dash APC that one. What we are after and we must get back is Kano state and we are not bargaining it for anything. Tribunal must boot out Ganduje with all force. The judgment go loud, them go hear am for outside world. Meanwhile, Adamawa in the bag today. So many APC zombies were in severe pains... 3 Likes 2 Shares |
