The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of an Aspirant of All Progressive Congress (APC) gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, Jumoke Abimbola against the winner of the just concluded poll and the incumbent Governor, Biodun Oyebanji.
In a decisive ruling, the apex court upheld all the preliminary objections raised by the respondents, struck out every ground of the appellant’s appeal, and ultimately dismissed the substantive suit in its entirety, cementing the legal victory of the respondents.
Representing the 3rd Respondent, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, at today’s proceedings, Barrister Olarewaju Ibrahim Kunle expertly led a formidable team of four other legal counsel to successfully safeguard the mandate.
Also present in court to witness the landmark proceedings was the Attorney General of Ekiti State, Dayo Apata, SAN.
