Consequent upon his victory at the Appeal Court today, Osun State governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has extended the olive branch to his predecessor as he called for cooperation to move Osun State to the next level.
Recall Theliberationnews reported that Appeal Court sitting in Abuja upheld Adeleke’s victory as the duly elected governor of the state thereby setting aside the election tribunal judgment that was in favour of APC’s Oyetola.
The former senator described the tribunal outcome as “no victory, no vanquished” adding that Osun state belongs to all regardless of political or religious affiliation.
He went on to urge members of the opposition party to cooperate with his administration to move the state to the next level.
“I thank the people of Osun for standing by me throughout the trial period and even now, irrespective of the outcome of the verdict. The people have spoken and the judiciary has aligned with their voices.
“Osun belonged to all of us, irrespective of party affiliation. This is democracy and the beauty of it is healthy competition. So, the judgment for me is a no victor, no vanquished. We should all return to the table and continue the good work of moving Osun forward.
“I urged the good people of the state to continue to be law-abiding. From me, I am assuring you that the good work is just starting, they should expect more dividends of democracy.
“I also commend the Judges of the Court of Appeal for standing on the side of truth. They should continue to stand on the side of the law. The court is the last hope of the common man and we commend the court for dispensing justice today”, he said.
