The People’s Democratic Party candidate in the March 18 governorship election in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu has rejected Saturday’s judgement of the election petitions tribunal which affirmed Governor Dapo Abiodun as the duly elected governor of the state.
Adebutu described the judgement of the tribunal as unexpected, disheartening and a threat to Nigeria democracy, stating that the only choice is to exhaust all the available legal options including heading to the Appeal Court to claim his stolen mandate.
In a statement through the Director of his Media Campaign Organisation, Afolabi Orekoya, Adebutu said the judgement which was based solely on funny technicalities failed to consider the substantial merits and evidence tendered during the trial.
According to him, his team of lawyers have been directed to kick start the process of appeal, to seek redress from the Appeal Court.
