Supreme Court affirms Fayose’s victory

The Supreme Court on today,Tuesday, affirmed Ayodele Fayose as the duly elected governor of Ekiti State in the June 21, 2014 election.
‎In a unanimous decision by the seven-man panel led by Justice John Fabiyi, the apex court upheld the earlier decisions of the Court of Appeal and the Ekiti State Governorship Election Tribunal, which had both earlier ruled that the petition challenging Fayose’s victory lacked merit.
In the lead judgment delivered by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, the apex court dismissed all the grounds of appeal filed by the petitioner the All Progressives Congress and resolved all four issues arising from the appeal against the party.
