The petition by Omisore and PDP stated that then gubernatorial candidate Rauf Aregbesola was involved in rigging the elections and committing electoral fraud in Osun State.
Iyiola Omisore has made headlines recently for his involvement with assisting to rig the Ekiti State elections by bribing Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, conspiring to arrest opposition leaders, and deny access to polls by opposition voters.
The Court of Appeal, in addition to dismissing Omisore and PDP’s allegations, also upheld the cross-appeal by Governor Rauf Aregbesola that Omisore’s petition ought to have been dismissed before hearing as an abandoned petition.
