Adeleke Rejects Tribunal Verdict Sacking Him as Governor, Heads to Appeal Court

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has described the judgement of the governorship tribunal as ” a miscarriage of justice”, vowing to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.

Adeleke said this while reacting to the verdict of the Tribunal from his country home, Ede. 

He condemned the resolution of the over-voting question in favour of Mr Oyetola, calling it “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters”

Governor Adeleke vowed to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal, while urging his supporters to remain calm, insisting 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,” Governor Adeleke declared.
