Appeal Court Sacks Oyo Assembly APC Lawmaker From Saki West

The Court of Appeal has sacked the lawmaker representing Saki West State Constituency, Hon Shittu Ibrahim.

Recall that INEC had earlier declared Mr Shittu Ibrahim of the All Peoples Congress (APC) as winner of the election held on 18th March, 2023.

It declared that Ibrahim scored 13,692 votes to defeat the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Julius Okedoyin, who scored 13,422 votes.

Dissatisfied with the declaration, Okedoyin and the PDP headed to the tribunal alleging over-voting, irregularity and non-compliance with electoral guidelines.

Delivering a unanimous ruling of the three-man panel, its chairman, Justice Jubril Anaja, held that the petition had merit and that the petitioners proved their allegations beyond reasonable doubt.
