Global music artist, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, has asked for God’s favour ahead of a Supreme Court ruling involving his uncle and Governor of Osun, Ademola Adeleke, in being made the legitimate number one citizen of the state.
According to VANGUARD, the Supreme Court had fixed May 9, 2023, to deliver a judgment for the July 16, 2022 governorship election tussle in Osun State.
A five-member panel of Justices led by Justice John Okoro fixed the date after all parties involved, adopted their written briefs in the matter.
Recall that the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, had set aside the decision of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which nullified the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as Governor of Osun State.
Consequently, the Appellate Court affirmed Adeleke as the winner of the State’s governorship election of July 2022.
Davido tweeted, “Osun State Election Petition hearing comes up at the Supreme Court today. We look forward to the judicial affirmation of @AAdeleke_01 (The people’s) mandate. The hardest part is done, winning a free and fair Election. May God let the court do the right thing.”(sic)
