The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Bwari, Abuja, on Tuesday, nullified the nomination of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in September 2018 governorship election in Osun State.

Delivering judgment in a suit challenging Adeleke’s qualification to contest for the office of a governor, Justice Othman Musa held that the plaintiffs were able to prove that Adeleke did not possess the minimum qualification of being educated up to secondary level as stipulated under section 177 of the 1999 Constitution.

Justice Musa held that the court’s findings showed that Adeleke was admitted into Ede Muslim High School, Ede, Osun State in 1976, there was no record showing that he graduated as his name was not seen in the school’s register from 1980.

He added that the results Adeleke attached to his form CF001 which he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission was fake, as it was found to be different from the one presented to the court by the Principal of Ede Muslim High School, Ede, where he claimed to have graduated.

INEC had declared the All Progressives Congress and its candidate Adegboyega Oyetola as the winner of the September 2018 governorship election in Osun State.

But the Osun State Governorship Election which sat in Abuja had by its majority judgment nullified Oyetola’s victory and declared Adeleke as the valid winner of the poll.

Before the September 2018 election, two members of the APC, Wahab Raheem and Adam Habeeb, had instituted the suit against Oyetola, the PDP and INEC, accusing Adeleke of not possessing the requisite educational qualification of secondary school certificate to contest for the office of governor.

They urged the court to, among others, for an order to disqualify Adeleke from participating in the governorship election in the state on the grounds of non-qualification.

Reacting to the judgment on Tuesday, Adeleke’s lawyer, Nathaniel Oke (SAN), expressed displeasure about it the verdict which he said failed to take into account the West African Examination Council certificate evidence tendered before the court.

He said the judge erred in law by going out of his way to on his own source for evidence to arrive at his “unjust conclusion”.
