Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, Ondo State, on Wednesday, dismissed a suit filed by Dotun Babayemi, a factional governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, against Senator Ademola Adeleke.
Babayemi had dragged Adeleke before a Federal High Court, sitting in Osogbo, to seek to be declared as the PDP candidate for the July 16 governorship election in Osun State.
On March 8, 2021, two PDP factions had conducted separate governorship primaries featuring Adeleke and Babayemi.
While Babayemi was declared the winner of the primary election held at the Children and Women Development Centre in Osogbo, the primary election held at Osogbo City Stadium and backed by the PDP National working Committee, produced Adeleke.
