Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State, responded to his loss before the Osogbo-based Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
The tribunal overturned Adeleke’s victory in the July 16th 2022 gubernatorial elections on Friday.
However, the governor referred to it as a miscarriage of justice in a statement issued under his spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed.
The statement read: “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.
“Reacting to the verdict of the Tribunal from his country home, Ede, Governor Adeleke faulted the resolution of the over-voting question in favour of Mr Oyetola, calling it “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters”
“While urging his supporters to remain calm, Governor Adeleke vowed to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal, 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.”
