Osun Tribunal Judgement: Stay calm and optimistic, I am still your Governor, Adeleke assures Osun People

 

.....expresses optimism to win at both the Appeal & Supreme Courts.


 Sunday Okunade 
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has described the outcome of Osun election petition Tribunal as a temporary  miscarriage of justice which will not see the light of the day .

Governor Adeleke stated this at a stakeholders meeting held with the executives, Chieftains and members of  Peoples' Democratic Party at the State Party Secretariat, Ikirun Road, Osogbo. 
    
Governor Adeleke who was looking his usual ever confident and smiling self also described the judgement as lacking in any  known judicial substance saying  the outcome will not in anyway dissuade him from carrying out his usual  constitutionally assigned roles and responsibilities of being   the duly elected Governor of the people of Osun state. While calling on all and sundry in the state  to remain calm, resolute and unperturbed by the shoddy and shocking  judgement, the Osun helmsman told his audience at the meeting that his party (PDP), is battle ready to challenge the judgment at the appeal Court to reclaim his mandate.
    
Notwithstanding the present development which he described as temporal, Adeleke vowed that, his administration will continue to give people the much sought dividends  of democracy, which eluded them in the past, especially during the immediate past administration.

Senator Adeleke however enjoined  members of the PDP and the people of the state in general  not to be discouraged  by the outcome of the Tribunal, but embark on serious campaigns as usual as a way of  consolidating on  the winning streaks of the PDP in next elections.

Earlier in his opening address, the PDP Caretaker Committee  Chairman in Osun, Dr. Akindele Adekunle appreciated Governor Adeleke, party members and Osun People for their steadfastness in standing by the party at all times.

The state PDP Chairman noted that the party had been able to show its power and strength across the State the day the judgment was  delivered as people completely denounced and condemned the verdict  of the election petition tribunal. 
He described the court judgement as not only an aberration but null and void which will not stand the test of time.

Dr. Akindele therefore charged the party faithful to be committed to the ideals of going all out in large number with a view to winning the  forthcoming general elections.

In their separate goodwill messages, Senator Adenigba Fadahunsi, Former Deputy Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Lasun Yusuf and Hon. Wole Oke noted that the July 16 Governorship election in Osun remains solid and sacrosanct as it was the day the people of Osun state openly declared their love and overwhelming support for Governor Adeleke as their governor.

Earlier In his remarks, the  Director General, Presidential Campaign Council, PDP, Osun State Chapter, Hon. Sunday Bisi explained  the readiness of the party to get people of Osun state liberated from the shackles of the immediate past APC led administration in Osun state, stressing that it is only the  PDP that gives people the true face of democracy.

 Hon. Bisi also called on all and sundry to remain peaceful, steadfast and resolute by not allowing  last week  Fridays' outcome of the election petition tribunal to affect them in anyway.

Highlight of the meeting was when the duo of  Barristers Niyi Owolade  and Kolapo Alimi professionally interpreted the judgment of the election petition tribunal to the party chieftains and members who were at the meeting with a declaration that, it will not, in anyway, stand the test of any known  electoral laws.
