Tribunal Sacks Ogun APC Reps Member

The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital has nullified the election of Hon. Kolapo Korede Osunsanya (KKO).

Recall that shortly after Osunsanya was declared winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Barrister Taiwo Shote filed a petition challenging his election.

But the election of Osunsanya who represents Ijebu Central Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was nullified by the Honourable Justice Wakkil Alkali Gana-led tribunal.

Justice Gana cancelled elections in units in Ward 5, Unit 5 in Ijebu Ode LGA; Ward 10, Unit 3 in Odogbolu LGA and the entire Ward 8 in Ijebu North LGA in the Federal Constituency on the grounds of irregularities and ordered that a rerun should be conducted within 90 days.
