Ife Adewole
The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has dismissed one of the petitions filed by Senator Ademola Adeleke against the incumbent governor of the State.
The judgement as at the time of filling this report is still on going. We shall continue to update you as the news break.

The application is hereby dismissed.”
