The Supreme Court, Friday, dismissed an interlocutory appeal that was filed against Governor Olusegun Mimiko by the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last governorship election in the state, Chief Olusola Oke.
.
In a judgement it delivered yesterday, the apex court, maintained that the appeal lacked merit, even as it upheld the earlier decision of both the election petition tribunal that sat in the state as well as that of the Court of Appeal, Akure. Oke had challenged the outcome of the election, which returned the Labour Party candidate, Mimiko, at the election tribunal.
.
However, following the refusal of the tribunal to allow him to file additional evidence after all the parties had already concluded their pleadings, he went on appeal.
