Adeleke heads to Appeal Court, rejects tribunal verdict

Embattled Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has described the judgement of the governorship tribunal as ‘a miscarriage of justice,’ vowing to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.

Reacting to the verdict of the Tribunal in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Rasheed Olawale, Adeleke faulted the resolution of the over-voting question in favour of Oyetola, calling it ‘an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters.’

Urging his supporters to remain calm, Adeleke vowed to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal, insisting he remains the rightful winner of the July 16 election.

He said, “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.”
