APC Withdraws Petition Against Governor Adeleke's Victory
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, have officially moved to withdraw their petition contesting Governor Ademola Adeleke's victory in the Osun State governorship election held on August 15. The motion for withdrawal was filed by counsel Seyi Oyagbile on September 8, 2026, at the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal located in Osogbo.
This development occurred shortly after two petitions were displayed on the tribunal's notice board. The first petition, numbered EPT/Os/Gov/01/2026, named Oyebamiji and the APC as petitioners, while Adeleke, the Accord, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were respondents.
The second petition, numbered EPT/Os/Gov/02/2026, involved the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the petitioner. Oyagbile confirmed the filing of the notice to withdraw the petition, stating it was based on the "Decision of Petitioner." This decision followed consultations among APC legal team members, including Adekunle Adegoke, who indicated a desire to de-escalate tensions in the state.
