PDP Senator Olujimi Floors APC Adeyeye At Appeal Court

The Court of Appeal has sacked Adedayo Adeyeye as the lawmaker representing Ekiti South senatorial district and asked the electoral body to issue the certificate of returns to Biodun Olujimi, who is the main opposition candidate as the winner.

Adeyeye, until the court ruling was the spokesperson for the upper chamber and the senator representing the ruling All Progressive Party (APC).
The Court of Appeal declared Senator Biodun Olujimi of the main opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the election.
Olujimi, a former principal officer in the 8th senate, is a former deputy governor of Ekiti state. She had won the case at the lower tribunal in the state weeks back.
Olujimi in a tweet said: "Congratulations to my Steadfast Constituents of Ekiti South Senatorial District and all Ekiti people indeed. It is a Victory For Democracy and the Freedom of Choice. May God only be Praised, to Him alone be ALL the Glory."
Adeyeye was a former spokesman of the main opposition party before he switched allegiance to the ruling party to contest the election this year.
The Election Tribunal had earlier declared Olujimi winner with total votes of 54,894 against Adeyeye, who garnered 52,234 after the Justice Danladi Adeck-led tribunal nullified elections in some units.
However, Adeyeye appealed the September 9 judgment that nullified his election and declared the PDP candidate, Olujimi, winner of the poll.
