2018 Osun Guber: Gov Adeleke Claiming Election Victory Shows He Has No Confidence In Judiciary-APC
Osun State APC has urged Governor Ademola Adeleke to stop claiming victory in the gubernatorial election held in the state in 2018 submitting that doing this will amount to disparaging the judiciary.
‘The statement made by Senator Adeleke is unnecessary as it amounts to telling the whole world that he doesn’t have confidence in the judiciary which through the Supreme Court of the land saw sufficient proof that he lost the 2018 governorship election to the former governor, Gboyega Oyetola now the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy.
It has been observed that at the slightest opportunity to speak, the Peoples Democratic Party PDP-produced governor would state that he won the 2018 governorship election.
Senator Adeleke should be reminded that a governorship election in Nigeria is a process which begins at the primary election level to the election proper, to the tribunal ,to the Court of Appeal and terminates at the Supreme Court.
It is instructive to drum it into Governor Adeleke’s ears that any allusion made by him or any other person that he(Adeleke) won the 2018 governorship election is not only contemptuous but amounts to rebuking the judiciary that it doesn’t know what it’s doing’ the state APC submitted in a statement issued in Osogbo by its spokesman, Mr Kola Olabisi which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Tuesday .
The statement added that right- thinking members of society will not expect Governor Adeleke to deride the judiciary being ‘a beneficiary of the same judiciary that pronounced him the winner of the governorship election against Alhaji Oyetola, the APC candidate in the 2022 guber election’.
‘We, as a party, have since moved on as committed democrats who have an absolute confidence in the nation’s judiciary and all the tenets of the rules of law.
It would be recalled that Adeleke was reported to have submitted in a television interview a few days ago, as usual, that he was rigged out of the 2018 governorship election.
We want to make it abundantly clear to Governor Adeleke and his co-travellers that his decision to continue to disparage the judiciary over his loss of the 2018 governorship election would not confer any special advantage on him in the 2026 guber election which he should be prepared to lose because of his unenviable scorecard.
It is funny for Governor Adeleke to always think that an election is only free, fair and credible and the judiciary is working only when he is declared the winner of an election without him taking into cognizance the fact that going into any election can be likened to going to a war where one can either come back with the booty of war or ends up as a booty of the enemy camp.
We want to warn Governor Adeleke that he should not resort to his stock in trade of blame game of the judiciary when he loses the 2026 governorship election as he has been laying the foundation for his imminent failure at the polls right from day one of his administration over two years ago to date with verifiable administrative missteps and policy somersaults.
Governance in this modern day is beyond what the minimalist administration headed by Governor Adeleke has been flaunting as achievements which are pungently devoid of an ability of the chief driver of the state to think outside the box other than dancing any time that two objects are struck against each other to the consternation of the right-thinking members of society’ the party added- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
