The All Progressives Congress (APC) has withdrawn a petition challenging the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke. According to Premium Times, the lawyer representing APC and its governorship candidate withdrew the case from the election tribunal on Tuesday.
The APC's legal team in Osun State had earlier disowned the petition, stating that it was not authorised by the party or its candidate, Bola Oyebamiji. Daily Post Nigeria reports that the team had advised against challenging the election result, citing the need to reduce political tension and promote peace in the state.
The decision not to pursue the petition was deliberate, with the legal team concluding that approaching the tribunal was not the best course of action given the circumstances surrounding the poll, as stated by Daily Post Nigeria.
