A video has surfaced on social media showing Prince Dapo Abiodun celebrating moments after the Supreme Court affirmed his election as the duly elected governor of Ogun State.
In the video, the governor and his associates sang and danced to a victory song after the apex court’s ruling favoured them.
On Friday, the Supreme Court put to rest the legal battle on the Ogun State governorship election with the dismissal of the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and its governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu.

The appeal jointly brought before the apex court by the PDP and Oladipupo was thrown out as unmeritorious.
Justice Tijani Abubakar dismissed the petition in the lead judgment he delivered.
Justice Abubakar rejected the prayer by Adebutu and the PDP for an order to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct fresh elections in the 99 polling units where elections were allegedly cancelled.
The court disagreed with the allegations of election cancellation in the 99 polling units.
On the contrary, the Supreme Court held that the All Progressives Congress (APC), and its governorship candidate, Abiodun, were lawfully declared winners of the March 18 poll by the electoral body.
