The participation of Senator Ademola Adeleke in the last governorship election in Osun State, has been nullified by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Bwari, Abuja.
.
.
Justice Othman Musa, today, annulled Adeleke’s nomination as candidate of the PDP on the grounds that he offended section 177 of the 1999 constitution as amended.
.
.
“The section states that candidates for the position of governor must be educated up to secondary school level.
.
.
Justice Musa said while the court’s findings showed that Adeleke entered secondary school in 1976, there was no record showing that he (Adeleke) actually graduated.
.
.
The judge said Adeleke’s name was no longer seen in the school’s register from 1980. The judgment was on a suit filed by two members of APC, Wahab Raheem and Adam Habeeb.
.
.
Justice Musa further stated that the result Adeleke attached to his form CF001 which he submitted to #INEC was fake, as it was found to be different from the one presented to the court by the principal of Ede Muslim High School, Ede, Osun State.
