Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun has described the judgement of the Election Petition Tribunal which sacked him as a miscarriage of justice.

Adeleke vowed to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal, insisting he remains the rightful winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship election.

The Tribunal presided over by Justice Tertse Kume earlier on Friday, January 27 sacked Adeleke as Osun State Governor.

Reacting to the verdict of the Tribunal, Governor Adeleke in a statement by his media aide, Olawale Rasheed faulted the resolution of the over-voting question in favour of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, calling it “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters.”

Adeleke who urged his supporters to remain calm said “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”.
