The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has filed a notice of withdrawal before the Election Petition Tribunal against its controversial petition against Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election.

The tribunal had on Monday pasted a notice displaying two petitions purportedly filed by the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, challenging the re-election of Governor Adeleke.

The petitions, which were dated September 5, 2026, were pasted on the notice board of the tribunal secretariat in Osogbo, formally commencing the process of hearing disputes arising from the August 15 governorship election in the state.

However, the APC disowned the said petition as members of its legal team disclosed that neither the candidate nor the party leadership sanctioned the filed petition.
