Nigeria: 'I Didn't File Any Petition Against Adeleke' - Osun PDP Candidate
Adedamola said he never authorized the petition, and the tribunal later struck it out after withdrawal motions from the PDP and APC legal teams.
- On Tuesday, Peoples Democratic Party candidate Wole Oluyede formally withdrew his petition at the Election Petition Tribunal challenging the re-election of Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
- Oluyede stated his decision was predicated on appeals from "important people," specifically President Bola Tinubu, to prioritize Ekiti's collective betterment and de-escalate tensions.
- Separately, the All Progressives Congress withdrew its petition against Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on Tuesday after legal counsel Oluseyi Oyagbile received withdrawal instructions via WhatsApp.
- Meanwhile, PDP candidate Adebayo Adedamola disowned a petition filed in his name against Adeleke, asserting he never authorized the challenge and actually supported the governor's re-election.
- Aligning with broader political consolidation, four major court cases challenging Senator Solomon Adeola's governorship candidacy in Ogun State were dismissed on September 7.
