The Supreme Court on Monday fixed Tuesday, May 9 to deliver judgment in the disputed Governorship election in Osun State.
The Apex Court fixed the date for judgment after taking arguments from parties involved in the matter.
The power struggle for the Osun governorship seat is between the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke who contested the poll on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Adegboyega Oyetola who was the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship candidate.
However, while Oyetola is the appellant in the instant matter in the Supreme Court having lost at the Court of Appeal, Adeleke is the major respondent being the winner of the Court of Appeal decision.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja had on March 24 vacated the tribunal judgment that nullified the election of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, held that the appeal Adeleke lodged to challenge his sack by the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, was meritorious.
