Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has upheld the judgment of the National Assembly Petition Tribunal which validated the victory of Senator Sharafadeen Alli in Oyo South district.<\/p>\n

Alli contested the election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

He was declared the winner of the senatorial election held on Saturday 25th February, by the Independent National Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n

But candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Joseph Tegbe and his counterpart from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Funmilayo Gbogbolomo challenged Alli\u2019s victory at the tribunal.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the tribunal had earlier affirmed Alli\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

The tribunal dismissed the petitions filed by the PDP and NNPP candidates.<\/p>\n

The duo later approached the Court of Appeal after the judgement of the tribunal.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal, however, on Friday, affirmed the victory of the APC senator.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal dismissed Tegbe\u2019s appeal on the grounds that it lacked merit, affirming the judgment of the tribunal.<\/p>\n

It also dismissed Gbogbolomo\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

The judges unanimously dismissed the appeals by the duo.<\/p>\n
