Governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu has won an appeal filed against him at the Appeal Court.

The appeal was filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Eyitayo Jegede challenging the reelection of Akeredolu.

The Akure division of Appeal Court sitting in Akure, the Ondo state capital dismissed the appeal on Wednesday.

The panel of Justices led by Justice Theresa Ngolika Orji-Abadua held that the appeal of the PDP candidate lacked merit.

She submitted; “the appeal is partly allowed and partly dismissed”.
