Earlier today, the Supreme Court has upheld her verdict again by saying the deputy governor-elect definitely forged his certificate with the inconsistency in his name. In the verdict that was upheld today, the supreme court was saddened that two renowned lawyer in the country Femi Olanipekun and Afe Babalola can stoop so low for the reconsideration of the supreme court verdict which the Constitution affords us to be the final.
