Justice David Oladimeji of the Osun State High Court urged Adeleke to present his certificate after Rasheed Olabayo and Oluwaseun Idowu prayed the court to disqualify him for “not possessing a school certificate, as required by Section 177 (d) of the 1999 Constitution.

Justice Oladimeji held that granting the leave to restrain the PDP from presenting Adeleke as its candidate due to his inability to present his school certificate to the party may subject the court to mockery, if eventually he presents the certificate.

They also requested that the July 21 primary that produced Adeleke as the PDP governorship candidate be set aside.

He said: “It will be inequitable not to allow the respondent to come and show his certificate, if he has any. But if given the opportunity to present his side of the case, the balance, which is necessary for interlocutory injunction, would be adequately considered.”

The judge advised the PDP candidate to present his secondary school certificate before the court on Wednesday, August 1.
