The appellate court presided over by Justice Samuel Oseji upheld the judgments of the Legislative Election Petitions Tribunal for Oyo State on the elections.

The lawmakers, who were from Labour Party, were Mr Gideon Aremu (Orelope State Constituency), Mr Olagunju Ojo (Orire State Constituency), Gbenga Oyekola (Atiba State Constituency) and Mr Oyetunji Peter (Surulere/Ogooluwa State Constituency).
