Onyechi Ikpeazu made headlines on Tuesday when his client, the incumbent governor of Osun, Senator Ademola Adeleke was declared as the legitimate winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship election by the Supreme Court.
A three-member panel of the appellate court led by Mohammed Shuaibu had as of last year affirmed Adeleke’s victory, nullifying the judgment of the election petition tribunal for “lacking merit”.
Justice Agim, in the Supreme Court judgment, held that the appellant (Oyetola) failed to prove the allegations of over-voting and other irregularities in the conduct of the election.
