The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the tribunal judgment sacking Ademola Adeleke as governor of Osun.
The election petition tribunal had on Friday sacked Ademola Adeleke as Governor of the state and ordered that Gboyega Oyetola be issued a certificate of return.
Reacting to the tribunal judgment in a statement, Abubakar described the happenings as a phase in the struggle of liberation of Osun.
“On today’s verdict of the election petition tribunal in Osun state, I stand in solidarity with the good people of Osun state who overwhelmingly voted for the Peoples Democratic Party and gave their mandate to His Excellency Governor Demola Adeleke,” he said.
“What has happened at the tribunal today is a phase in the struggle to liberate Osun state and I am sure that at the conclusion of the whole process, the people shall be victorious.
“I therefore call on the people of Osun to continue to have faith in their governor elected into office in popular ballot.
“This light that has shone on Osun shall never go dim.”
Meanwhile, also in reaction to the court ruling, Adeleke has said he would appeal the judgment.
