"The court declared in clear terms that Fayemi was the duly elected governor of Ekiti State.
Having scored 105,631 votes as against Oni's 95,176 in the April 2007 governorship election, the ACN flagbearer was also returned as the winner of the April 2009 supplementary election involving some wards in the state.
In a unanimous judgment, the five justices, led by the Appeal Court President, Justice Ayo Salami, set aside the majority judgment of the trial tribunal that had declared Oni validly elected in the 2009 rerun and upheld the minority judgment.
The other justices are C.R Ogunbiyi, O. Ariwoola, C.C Nweze and Adamu Janro. Justice Salami added that "Segun Oni was not validly elected as he did not form the majority of valid votes cast. Segun Oni's election is hereby nullified," he declared.
Salami added: "Dr Fayemi, having won the majority of votes cast and having met the constitutional requirements and the provisions of the 2006 Electoral Act, is hereby declared the winner of the elections. Therefore the first appellant (Dr Fayemi) should be given certificate of return as the elected governor of Ekiti state.
The court arrived at the judgment after nullifying all the results of four wards in Ido-Osi, which was in contention. The court arrived at its decision after it had deducted all the votes cast in the four wards from the final scores of both candidates, leaving the ACN candidate with the highest number of votes cast.
"The appellant had succeeded in all the four reliefs he sought in his notice filed on April 25, 2010. The majority decision of the trial tribunal is hereby set aside, and in its place, the majority judgment is hereby affirmed," the Appeal Court president declared. The appellants had sought for "an order to appeal the case; an order granting the relief of the appellant; an order nullifying the election and return of the first respondent as the governor of Ekiti State and withdrawing the certificate issued to him, and an order declaring the appellant as duly elected governor of Ekiti State, having satisfied the constitutional provisions in that regard and Section 145 (1) of the 2006 Electoral Act."
