SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS GOVERNOR MAKINDE’S ELECTION

The Supreme Court also ruled that the minority decision of the Court of Appeal was more deserving of the apex court’s consideration and upheld the minority decision of the court of appeal which validated Makinde’s election.

Penpushing further reports that, counsel to Governor Seyi Makinde,  Wole Olanipekun(SAN), had earlier asked the court to disregard the appeal by All Progressives Congress(APC) Candidate, Adebayo Adelabu.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said his team of lawyers identified that majority of the decisions taken at the tribunal had been based on previous positions of the Supreme Court which were not upturned by the court of appeal.

Penpushing also reports that, Makinde’s lawyer argued that his client had defeated his opponents in the polls with over 15700 polls and won in 28 out of 33 Local governments in the state.
