Davido`s uncle; Senator Ademola Adeleke, has been declared the new Governor of Osun State after a tribunal ruling in Abuja on the 22nd of March, 2019.
The DMW boss shared the news via his Instagram handle. The dancing senator, a representative of the People`s Democratic Party (PDP) was initially the winner of the election which took place in September, 2018. But due to the election constitution which states that if the number difference between a winner of an election and the 1st runner-up is not up to the number of cancelled votes, there will be a re-run of the election.
Senator Ademola Adeleke won by just a slim margin Over Gbenga Oyetola the All Progressives Congress (APC). The PDP candidate won by just a few numbers which was not up to the number of cancelled votes resulting to him not declared the winner of the election as such creating an avenue for a re-run election.
In the re-run that was staged, APC candidate; Gbenga Oyetola was declared the winner, but the PDP felt there were some irregularities in the election giving them a tangible reason to challenge the result in court. The case has however been in court since last year until a ruling was announced in favour of the PDP candidate; Ademola Adeleke today.
Davido excitedly shared the news on his Instagram page just few minutes ago.
