Despite Adeleke’s Victory At The Tribunal, Gboyega Oyetola Says, ‘I Remain The Duly Elected Governor Of Osun State’

Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, on Saturday, said he is still
the duly elected governor of the state regardless of Friday’s judgement
of the state Election Petitions Tribunal.  

He enjoined the public to disregard the insinuations that he had been
sacked, saying he was confident of retaining his mandate at the
appellate court. He spoke in Osogbo while inspecting some ongoing road
and drainage projects in the state capital.  

The governor said the outcome of the ‘lower court’ did not, in any
way, affect the validity of the votes freely and willingly given to him
by the people of the state. He said since the constitution allowed him
to file an appeal against the judgement, he remained the legitimate
governor of the state.  

Oyetola said, “I am confident that our mandate will be reaffirmed at
the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. As you all know, it was a
split judgement, telling us that it was not a unanimous decision. This
is part of our strength at the appellate court.

“I must correct the impression that I have been removed from office. I
remain the governor of Osun up until all the electoral litigation is
finalised. My visit to this site is in furtherance of our commitment to
ensuring a better life for all residents of the state and to demonstrate
that governance brought about by our government continues.”  

The governor, who had earlier received the leaders and members of the
All Progressives Congress at the Government House, assured the
supporters of the party that he would become victorious at the end of
the litigation. He called on the party loyalists to remain calm and
expressed confidence in the judiciary to deliver justice.
