An Osun State High Court presided over by Justice David Oladimeji has said that despite the damaging irregularities in the document submitted by Senator Ademola Adeleke, the court can’t stop him from contesting the Osun State governorship election as plaintiffs failed to prove the forgery allegation preferred against him.
Two members of the PDP — Rasheed Olabayo and Idowu Oluwaseun — had filed a suit seeking an order of the court to stop Adeleke as the candidate of the PDP, alleging that he did not have the required educational certificate to contest the poll.
But the judge held that he found out that the first defendant was educated up to secondary school level and that he also admitted this in their affidavit.
Consequently, the court dismissed the suit seeking to stop Adeleke as the governorship candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 22 election in the ruling delivered on Wednesday.
