Omisore vows to unseat Aregbesola through Supreme Court as Appeal Court upholds judgment

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has vowed to head for the Supreme Court following the dismissal of his suit by the Court of Appeal in Akure, seeking to upturn the victory of Governor Rauf Aregbesola at the August 2014 governorship election in Osun State.

Omisore spoke through his media aide, Mr. Victor Oriola  to react to the dismissal of his appeal on Thursday.

He said Omisore was not going to let the alleged manipulation of the August 9, 2014 governorship election go without fighting it to the very end.

YDP officials face jail term for misrepresenting judgment

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, Abuja, has given officials of the Youth Democratic Party 24 hours to address a press conference and retract the misrepresentation of his judgment delivered on March 4, 2015.

The court had, in the March 4 judgment, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to register YDP as a political party but the party officials had gone ahead to tell the media that the court also ordered that the party should be allowed to participate in the forthcoming elections or the elections be postponed.

Justice Mohammed, who also on Monday ordered the party officials to file an affidavit of compliance, threatened to jail them if they failed to carry out his directives.
