BREAKING: Tribunal declares PDP’s Adeleke winner of Osun governorship election










The Election Petitions Tribunal set up for the 2018 governorship election in Osun State has declared Ademola Adeleke winner of the election.
The three-man panel said during its ruling in Abuja Friday afternoon that the rerun election that held on September 27 was illegal.
The tribunal therefore deducted the votes scored by the APC candidate Gboyega Oyetola at the rerun illegal.
The tribunal said Mr Adeleke won the election at the first ballot on September 22, and the rerun that INEC devised to reach a final conclusion a week later was illegal.
The ruling could affect several results from the 2019 elections, where INEC had declared results in several states inconclusive and ordered rerun.
The reruns would hold on Saturday.
Details shortly.

In another set of stories, Sango is the son of Aganju and Obatala. As the story goes, Obatala, the king of the white cloth was travelling and had to cross a river. Aganju, the ferryman and god of fire, refused him passage so Obatala retreated and turned into a woman and traded his/her body for passage (this would later become a conspiracy theory about homosexuality existing even in the days of old). This tension between reason represented by Obatala and Aganju would form the foundation of Sango’s particular character and nature. Sango was said to have went in search of Aganju on which he had to throw himself into a lake of burning fire
