The Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo state, on Wednesday, dismissed the petition filed by Mr Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the October 10, 2020 Governorship election against the election of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), as the Governor.

The Appellate Court, which delivered its judgement virtually began sitting at 3.00pm.

Reading the lead judgment, Justice Theresa Ngolika Orji-Abadua, said the case filed by Jegede lacks merit.

The Election Petition Tribunal had earlier upheld the victory of Governor Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in the election.
