The Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna today nullified the election of spokesman of the Senate, Senator Dayo Adeyeye.
In a ruling delivered by Justice Uzor Anyanwu, the court also upheld the tribunal judgment declaring Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Senator Abiodun Olujimi winner of the Ekiti South Senatorial election held on February 23.
He consequently ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to Olujimi.
INEC had declared Adeyeye, who contested on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), winner of the National Assembly election.
Olujimi approached the elections petitions tribunal, seeking declaration that she had the highest number of votes in the election.
She urged the tribunal to nullify the PDP candidate’s victory, claiming irregularities in the electoral process.
The tribunal subsequently nullified elections in some polling units and declared Olujimi winner.
APC and its candidate appealed the tribunal ruling at the appellate court.
