The former governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gboyega Oyetola, and his party have been slammed with N500,000 cost by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja
Oyetola and the APC were slammed by the appellate court following the judgement which affirmed the State Governor, Ademola Adeleke as the governor of Osun State.

Following the ruling, Justice Mohammed Lawal, awarded N500,000 cost against the APC and its candidate, Oyetola
