The Election Petition Tribunal has upheld the election of Gov. Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State and his deputy, Mrs Monisade Afuye.
The Tribunal in its judgment on Thursday in Ado -Ekiti dismissed the petition of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate, Mr Segun Oni.
This suggests that, in the parlance of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Oni has lule leekeji, meaning he has woefully lost twice, having been flatly defeated during the election.
In the judgment read by the Chairman, Justice Wilfred Kpochi and a member of the Panel, Justice Sa’ad Zadawa, resolved all issues in contention against Oni and his party, SDP.
The Panel held that the petition filed by Oni against the return of Oyebanji and Afuye respectively “failed woefully head or tail.”
