Osun 2023: Supreme Court dismisses suit against Gboyega Oyetola’s candidacy

The Supreme Court denied the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) request to reinstate the nullification of former Osun governor Gboyega Oyetola and his deputy's participation in the July 16, 2022, governorship election.

The PDP's appeal was rejected by a five-judge Supreme Court bench chaired by Justice Centus Nweze, who also instructed the PDP's attorney Kehinde Ogunwumiju to withdraw it.

The court ruled that the PDP was not allowed to challenge how Oyetola and Alabi became candidates for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election since it was against the law.

On September 30, 2022, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja declared that Oyetola and Alabi could not compete for governor because Mai Mala Buni, who was the governor of Yobe State at the time and the acting chairman of the APC, had signed their nomination papers.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja overturned Justice Nwite's judgement in December of last year. The PDP then appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court.
