HON OGUNSUA GBOYEGA DIXON(OGD) FELICITATES AIYEDATIWA, ADELAMI OVER SUPREME COURT VICTORY
An esteemed chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, Hon. Ogunsua Gboyega Dixon (OGD) has felicitated Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and his Deputy, Dr. Olayide Adelami on the Supreme Court validation of their victory at the governorship election.
The suit, instituted by the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), His Excellency, Hon. Agboola Alfred Ajayi, sought to nullify the election on the grounds of alleged discrepancies in the name change of the Deputy Governor, Dr. Olayide Adelami.
The Supreme Court, in its final and binding judgment delivered on March 11, 2025, held that the appellants lacked the requisite legal standing to sustain their claims, rendering the case unsustainable.
Consequently, the apex court dismissed the appeal and imposed a cost of ₦2 million on His Excellency, Hon. Agboola Alfred Ajayi, to be paid to each of the four respondents
