The Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the Osun state capital has affirmed Senator Ademola Adeleke as the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the July 16 governorship election in the State.
Justice Nathaniel Emmanuel made the declaration on Wednesday while delivering a ruling in a suit filed by a factional candidate of the PDP, Prince Dotun Babayemi.
Babayemi had in a suit marked FHC/OS/CS/26/2022 instituted by Omooba Dotun Babayemi against the PDP, INEC and Senator Ademola Adeleke, Babayemi challenged the nomination and submission of Senator Ademola by the Peoples Democratic Party to INEC and the validity of the governorship primaries conducted at the stadium against the authenticated delegates who voted at the party primaries at WOCDIF as ordered by the court.
But the trial judge ruled that Senator Adeleke is the properly nominated candidate of the PDP in the July governorship poll.
