Following days of massive protests and demonstrations across Osun State, Governor Ademola Adeleke has hailed the overwhelming rejection of tribunal verdict.
He assured that people’s mandate in osun will not be stolen either through front or back door, describing judgement of the governorship tribunal as “Kangaroo”
This was revealed in a press release on Saturday personally signed by him.
Reacting to protests of support and rejection of the judgement from the 30 local governments and the Area Council, Governor Adeleke expressed delight at the reaffirmation of popular support for his governorship mandate.
The statement reads partly;
“I have read stories of multiple protests and I have seen many videos from all over the state. From Central, West and east, I am overwhelmed by your open defence of our mandate. I express my appreciation to our people for their show of support. Your love for me is much appreciated.
“We have not done anything wrong. We won clearly with a wide margin. Local and foreign observers hailed our election as the best in recent Nigerian history. Be rest assured that by God and Man, justice will be done. Our mandate won’t be stolen.
“I urge you to remain calm. We should not take the law into our hands. We have appealed the judgement and we are sure of victory by the Special Grace of God”,
