The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to challenge the Court of Appeal judgement upturning the judgement of the lower court declaring the candidate of the PDP, Senator Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of Osun State, at the Supreme Court, saying that the mandate given to the party by the people of Osun State cannot be stolen by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was made known by the PDP National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Eddy Onafeso, in a telephone interview with after the Appeal Court judgement.
Meanwhile, some Chieftains of the APC had hailed the judgment of the Court of Appeal, describing it as the ‘Will of God’.
The former Chairman of the APC in Lagos State, Chief Henry Ajomale, said that the judgement has vindicated the people of Osun who voted for APC at the last year governorship election, saying that the people of the state would enjoy the tenure of Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
“We thank God that the truth has come out with the Court of Appeal judgement. God has revealed himself. I wish Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola well and I know he is a good man. The people of Osun State will enjoy his tenure”
Ajomale said further that even if PDP goes to the Supreme Court, APC would win again because the party had all the evidence in their hands.
Also, the Assistant Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Mr Abiodun Salami, described the judgement as a victory for democracy, saying that judiciary has shown that it is the hope of the common man.
Salami explained that the governance of Osun cannot be left in the hands of sycophant, saying “It is a victory for democracy. It was a unanimous decision to show that democracy is working, and that the hope of the common man is in the judiciary”
“Somebody cannot just come from somewhere and want to get position through crook means. The people of Osun are not stupid. Someone without a genuine certificate cannot govern Osun. APC will continue to win”
