Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has applauded the Supreme Court judgement which affirmed him as the duly elected governor of the state.
A five-member panel of the court, in a unanimous judgement on Friday morning, dismissed the appeal by Oladipupo Adebutu, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last governorship election in the State.
Justice Tijjani Abubakar, who read the lead judgement, held that Adebutu and his party failed to prove their case.
Justice Abubakar resolved all the issues raised for determination against the appellants and held that the appeal was without merit.
