The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has rejected the judgment of the Election Petitions Tribunal hearing the All Progressives Congress’ Adegboyega Oyetola’s petition against his (Adeleke) victory in the July 16 Osun governorship poll.

In a statement signed by the governor’s media aide, Mallam Olawale Rasheed and obtained by AN24, Adeleke described the judgement of the governorship tribunal as “a miscarriage of justice”.

He also vowed to challenge the judgment in Appeal Court.

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 Oyetola, calling it “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters”.

He urged his supporters to remain calm as he will reclaim his seat.

“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.” he said.
