The participation of Senator Ademola Adeleke in the last
governorship election in Osun State, has been nullified by a High Court
of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Bwari, Abuja.
.
.
Justice
Othman Musa, today, annulled Adeleke’s nomination as candidate of the
PDP on the grounds that he offended section 177 of the 1999 constitution
as amended.
.
.
“The section states that candidates for the position of governor must be educated up to secondary school level.
.
.
Justice
Musa said while the court’s findings showed that Adeleke entered
secondary school in 1976, there was no record showing that he (Adeleke)
actually graduated.
.
.
The judge said Adeleke’s name was no
longer seen in the school’s register from 1980. The judgment was on a
suit filed by two members of APC, Wahab Raheem and Adam Habeeb.
.
.
Justice Musa further stated that the result Adeleke attached to his form CF001 which he submitted to #INEC
was fake, as it was found to be different from the one presented to the
court by the principal of Ede Muslim High School, Ede, Osun State.
