Following the judgment of the Appeal Court on Friday that upheld the victory of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of Osun State, the former governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has remarked that his confidence in the judicial system remains unshaken.
Oyetola, in his reaction to the judgment that upturned his victory at the election tribunal, explained that there is a ground for him and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to approach the Supreme Court to seek further redress.
The former governor, in a statement issued by his media aide, Ismail Omipidan said that from the snippet available from the judgement, there are solid ground to seek further redress at the Apex Court.
He, however, appealed to members and supporters of the APC to remain calm and not be swayed by the unfavorable outcome of Friday’s appeal, saying he is trusting God to reclaim his mandate.
The statement partly reads; “We have heard the judgement of the Appeal Court, but we are yet to receive a copy of the judgement.
“However, from the snippets we are getting, we believe we have a potential ground to approach the Supreme Court. Our belief in the judiciary remains unshaken, just as my abiding faith in the God’s promise regarding the reclaim of my mandate remains undoubted.
“I, therefore, appeal to our supporters and party members to remain calm as we take the next step.”
