The election petition tribunal sitting in Oyo state on Saturday affirmed the electoral victories of two members of the House of Representatives.
They are Hon. Olaide Musliudeen Akinremi, representing Ibadan North Federal constituency, popularly called Jagaban and Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, representing Oluyole Federal constituency.
Insideoyo.com recalls that the two members were elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the last general elections.
Jagban’s victory was challenged by Ademola Omotosho of the People Democratic Party (PDP).
In its ruling, the tribunal said petitioner was unable to convince the panel on alleged irregularities in the said election.
In the judgement read by the Vice Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Sambo Daka, flanked by the Chairman Justice Anthony Akpovi and Chinyere Ani, the tribunal upheld the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the last general election declaring Akinremi as the winner of the election.
