Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, says the judgement of the governorship election petitions tribunal is “a miscarriage of justice”, vowing to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
Adeleke in his reaction to the verdict of the tribunal, from his country home in Ede, faulted the resolution of the over-voting question in favour of Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, saying it’s “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters”
The governor, who urged his supporters to remain calm, vowed to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal.
He insisted he remained the rightful winner of the July 16 Osun gubernatorial 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,” the governor said in a statement signed by his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, on Friday.
