“We shall meet Adeleke and INEC at the Supreme Court.” Osun State APC

 

 

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State said it would study the Appeal Court’s decision in favor of Peoples Democratic Party’s Ademola Adeleke.

The party also disclosed that it will proceed without delay to the next constitutional means of seeking justice at the highest court of the land.

 

 

In a decision issued on Friday, the Appeal Court in Abuja upheld Ademola Adeleke’s election as governor of Osun State.

 

 

The Osun Gubernatorial Election Petition Tribunal had, in January, upturned Adeleke’s electoral victory and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC a Certificate of Return.

 

 

Tajudeen Lawal, the acting chairman of the party in the state, issued a statement on Friday urging all members to keep their hopes alive.

 

 

“As a law-abiding party that prioritizes the rules of law, we shall pursue the issue before the Supreme Court with a view to ensuring that justice is served.

 

 

“The members and supporters of our party should not despair over the judgment, as it’s a mere temporary setback that would be redressed in due course.”

 

 

“The long and short of my sermon is that we shall meet Adeleke, the PDP, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Supreme Court,” Lawal stated.

 

 

Reacting, the Osun Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) issued a statement calling on former governor Adegboyega Oyetola and the Osun APC to bury the hatchet and congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke.

 

 

The party in the statement credited Akindele Adekunle, its caretaker chairman, for upholding fairness and justice and restoring the people’s confidence.

 

 

“We wish to commend and applaud the Lord Justice of the appellate court for upholding the tenet of justice and fairness in the Osun guber case.

 

 

“We want to urge the Osun APC and enjoin Oyetola to bury their hatchet, congratulate Governor Adeleke, and join hands with the PDP government in the state to move Osun forward instead of embarking on another futile mission to the Supreme Court,” Adekunle stated.
