Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has described the judgement of the governorship tribunal sacking him as “a miscarriage of justice.”
The governor, who reacted to the judgment delivered today, vowed to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
Speaking in his country home, Ede, 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 asked his supporters to remain calm, stressing that he will appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal.
He insisted that he remains the rightful winner of the July 16 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.”
Adeleke’s position was reflected in statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Olawale Rasheed.
