The Supreme Court sitting in Abuja has upheld the judgements of both the Ekiti State Governorship Tribunal and the Court of Appeal which had earlier affirmed Governor Ayodele Fayose's victory even as it said that Fayose was not validly impeached in 2006.

A seven-man panel of Justices of the court led by Justice John Fabiyi, also held that the appeal which challenged Fayose's election victory at the 2014 Ekiti State governorship election lacked merit. The apex court said that the allegation by the APC that Fayose tendered forged Higher National Diploma Certificate ?to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was not proved beyond every reasonable doubt.
