Former Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has congratulated his successor, Ademola Adeleke over the Supreme Court judgment that upheld his victory as Governor of the State.
The Supreme Court further affirmed the victory of Adeleke as duly elected Governor of the State, noting that the Oyetola and his party, the All Progressives Congress were unable to prove allegations of improper accreditation and over-voting.
Oyetola in a statement personally signed by him, and made available to journalists by his spokesperson, Ismail Omipidan, said although the verdict of the Apex Court was against the wish of his party’s members and supporters, he accepted it in the interest of peace and development of the State.
The former governor urged members of his political party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, his supporters, and those who voted for him during the July 16 2022 governorship election, to accept the judgment as the will of God and move on.
Oyetola, who asked the APC members and supporters not to feel sad and depressed over the decision of the Court, encouraged them to brace up for the tasks ahead of the party. He also appreciated the leadership of the party in the State and at the national level for their commitment and support throughout the period of the legal tussle.
