Osogbo—The Apex Court has fixed hearing
in an appeal filed by the governorship
candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
during the August 9th governorship election
in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore for
tomorrow.



In an appeal notice issued by the Supreme
Court, dated 30th April 2015 and dispatched
to all the parties concerned, the court
maintained that it would begin the hearing of
the appeal.
Omisore appealed against the judgment of
the Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, Ondo
State, which affirmed the victory of Governor
Rauf Aregbesola of the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
*Omisore
The Court of Appeal had on the 2nd April,
2015 not only dismissed Omisore’s petition
for lacking in merit, but went ahead to
dismiss it on the ground that the petition was
abandoned in gross violation of paragraphs
18 (1) of the first schedule to the Electoral
Act,2010 as amended.
The State Election Petition Tribunal had
earlier dismissed Omsiore’s petition on
February 6th 2015 challenging the victory of
Governor Aregbesola at the August 9th
Governorship Election in the State for lacking
in merit.
