The Ogun State Election Petitions Tribunal has dismissed the petition of the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in the state, Adekunle Akinlade, against the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Dapo Abiodun.
Justice Yusuf Halilu, Chairman of the tribunal, in a unanimous judgement noted that the petition lacked merit, describing it as ‘lazy, deficient and shallow’.
Halilu then declared that Akinlade’s petition was destined to fail for lack of substance.
“This petition is destined to fail, it failed and it is hereby struck out,” he said.
The Tribunal chairman ruled then that the issue of information about academic qualification in Abiodun’s sworn affidavit had been laid to rest by the Appeal court.
