BREAKING: S’ Court rules in favour of Jegede on Ondo Election
The Supreme Court has struck out a stay of execution motion filed by Biyi Poroye and order the Appeal court to go ahead with ruling on the case between Eyitayo Jegede and Jimoh Ibrahim.
The Supreme Court said there was no way it could stop the second panel from ruling on the case between Jegede and Jimoh Ibrahim after the first panel stepped down.

Supreme Court justice Walter Onnoghen told Poroye’s counsel: “Tell us where in the constitution why we should punish those justices. You can’t box the lower court into a corner and be asking the Supreme Court for withdrawal of motions.”

“Will angels come down to adjudicate your case after you blackmailed the first panel and also raised eyebrow against the second panel?” Justice Mohammed Ibrahim Tanko said.
With this ruling, the appeal court can now continue with the ruling on the case between the two factional candidates of the PDP Jegede and Ibrahim just days after it adjourned its ruling indefinitely until when the Supreme Court has ruled on the motions before it.
