Fadeyi Says Supreme Court Ruling Does Not Disqualify Him From Osun Senate Race

Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi has dismissed claims that the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 has ended his bid to return to the Senate in 2027. The court restored sections covering party membership registers and candidate nomination procedures. Fadeyi maintains that neither he nor the PDP was a party to the case and says his emergence as the party’s candidate followed the law. The ruling did not directly determine Fadeyi’s eligibility. His name remains on INEC’s final list as the PDP candidate for Osun Central. The key issue is whether his nomination complied with the restored provisions if a specific legal challenge is filed. Should INEC’s published candidate list stand unless a court rules otherwise, or could the restored provisions still lead to fresh challenges?
