Few minutes ago the Supreme Court has ruled 7-0 in favour of incumbent Governor Dr J. K. Fayemi of Ekiti state, Western Nigeria.
The Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, had in its decision on the matter set aside the judgement of the lower tribunal which upheld Oni’s election as the validly elected governor of the state in 2007. The court in its decision ordered a re-run election which was held in 2009 However, after living office, Oni, not satisfied with the decision of the court, approached the Ado Ekiti division of the court, alleging bias and favoritism on the part of the suspended president of the court, Justice Ayo Salami and the members of the tribunal. Specifically, Oni is seeking an order setting aside the decision of the Court of Appeal, Ado Ekiti division delivered on Monday, February 27, 2012.
Reports reaching us states that Ado-Ekiti, the State capital which has been in tension mood, is now in jubilation over the court rule.
