Ogun Governorship Tussle: Much ado about a dissenting judgment

On Friday, November 24, 2023, a special panel of the Court of Appeal delivered judgment in the appeal filed by Ladi Adebutu and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the re-election of Governor Dapo Abiodun as the governor of Ogun State. The court dismissed PDP’s appeal and affirmed the judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal, which upheld Abiodun’s declaration as governor by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Three Justices heard and judged the appeal – Justice Ikyegh, Justice Mustapha and Justice Inyang. Ikyegh and Mustapha dismissed the appeal, while Justice Inyang upheld the appeal.
