Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has rejected the judgment passed by the Election Petition Tribunal over the outcome of the July 16 Governorship election in the state.
The Tribunal had declared the former governor of Osun, Adegboyega Oyetola as the winner of the election and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has described the judgement of the governorship tribunal that sacked him on Friday as “a miscarriage of justice”.In a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke vowed to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
Reacting to the verdict of the Tribunal from his country home, Ede, Governor Adeleke faulted the resolution of the over-voting question in favour of Mr Oyetola, calling it ” an unfair interpretation against the will of [the] majority of voters.”
While urging his supporters to remain calm, Governor Adeleke vowed to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal, insisting he remains the rightful winner of the July 16 election.
“I call on our people to remain calm. We will appeal the judgement and we are sure justice will be done. Let our people be reassured that we will do everything possible to retain this widely acclaimed mandate”, Governor Adeleke said.
