2022 Guber Election: Osun PDP Calls Oyetola, APC Taking Case To Supreme Court ‘Waste Of Time’
Osun state PDP disclosed on Friday that it had been reliably informed by the party’s legal team that the immediate past Governor of the state, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola and his party, the APC have filed an appeal at the Supreme Court.
The party has described this as a waste of time.
It will be recalled that the Court of Appeal, Abuja had last month overruled the Osun state Governorship Election Petition Tribunal headed by Justice Tetse Kume which had in January this year ordered the electoral umpire; the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Governor Ademola Adeleke and issue a fresh one to Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, who was the APC gubernatorial candidate in the governorship election held in the state on July 16 2022.
Oyetola and Adeleke had stood as candidates of the APC and the PDP respectively in the 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial elections .
‘Notwithstanding the fact that it is within their inalienable right to seek redress in court according to the laws of the land, we want to emphatically tell them that, this is an effort in futility, a waste of time and an unproductive adventure for them.
You cannot lose at both the people’s court and the legal court and still expect a miracle or dubious way to foist yourself on the people who have repeatedly shown that they don’t want you.
The evil thought line of a fourth runner-up becoming the substantive beneficiary of a court judgment can never hold water here in Osun. No matter the evil they may plot, Osun People’s will, will continue to triumph as Governor Ademola Adeleke is the new Sheriff in town in Osun and will continue to be till his tenure mandatorily ends.
We believe in the Lord Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to give right verdict on the people’s will in Osun as we’re confident they’ll uphold the tenet of fairness and justice in delivering their judgment any day with regard to the Osun Guber case.
We commend the Lord Justices of the appellate court for setting good template for justice and throwing into the dustbin of history the controversial ‘Buga Judgment’ of the Tribunal.
We’re confident that our very revered and impeccable legal personalities of the Supreme Court will also ensure justice, fairness and Osun People’s will subsist and stands firmly’ the state PDP Caretaker Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.comon Friday- Team@orientactualmags.com
