Appeal court adjourns Osun governorship petition indefinitely

The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan has adjourned hearing in the appeal filed by Rauf Aregbesola, ACN governorship candidate in 2007 against Gov Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun, indefinitely.

The judges, comprising Justices S.S. Adeagua, K.M.O. Kekere-Ekun and Modupe Fasanmi, on Monday, said the date of hearing would be communicated to the parties in due course.

The judges said they might not be the team that would adjudicate the matter but promised that the briefs submitted by INEC would be looked into.

The judges said the 1,360 briefs, already submitted by parties were properly filed.

Based on the application of the plaintiff seeking the withdrawal of its brief, the court ordered that hearing on the main appeal would resume on a yet to be fixed date.
