The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Governor Ayo Fayose of
Ekiti state and dismissed the petition against
him. In the unanimous decision by the seven-man panel led by Justice John
Fabiyi, the Supreme Court upheld the earlier decisions of the Court of
Appeal and the Ekiti State Governorship Election Tribunal, which had
both ruled earlier that the petition challenging Fayose’s victory lacked
merit.
