The panel hearing the petition by the All Progressives Congress and its candidate at the July 16 Osun governorship poll, Adegboyega Oyetola, will on Friday deliver its judgement.

The notice that the panel would deliver its judgement on Friday was displayed on the notice board at the entrance to the venue of the panel sittings, on Tuesday.
