The Court of Appeal sitting in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday declared the Peoples Democratic Party\u2019s (PDP) candidate, Senator Biodun Olujimi<\/a>, winner of the Ekiti South Senatorial District\u2019s poll.<\/p>\n

The court moved to Kaduna State on Wednesday to deliver the judgment in the case filed by the senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Prince Dayo Adeyeye.<\/p>\n

In the earlier ruling on the matter, the tribunal had declared Olujimi winner with total votes of 54,894 against Adeyeye, who garnered 52,234 after the Justice Danladi A deck-led tribunal nullified the elections in some units.<\/p>\n

Reacting to her victory, Senator Olujimi tweeted, \u201cCongratulations to my steadfast constituents of Ekiti South Senatorial District and all Ekiti people indeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a Victory For Democracy and the Freedom of Choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay God only be Praised, to Him alone be all the glory. \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
