Oyetola had earlier won at the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo.
The tribunal upheld the allegation of over-voting in the areas won by Governor Adeleke and declared Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the winner of the poll after deducting “unlawful votes” from the PDP’s scores.
Dissatisfied with the tribunal’s judgement, Governor filed an appeal, urging the appellate court to set it aside and reaffirm his victory.
