The immediate past governor, Abiola Ajimobi’ s bid of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to stop Senator Kola Balogun as senator representing Oyo South senatorial district suffered a setback today.
The State House of Assembly and National Assemblies petition tribunal sitting in Ibadan just dismissed a case brought before by Ajimobi by the APC against the victory of Balogun.
Balogun had defeated Ajimobi, who was a sitting governor in eight out of nine local government areas in the district.
Oyo APC had asked the tribunal to cancel election in all the nine local government areas and order a fresh election owing to alleged irregularities in the February 23, 2019 election.
