Opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the court of appeal judgement which upheld Gboyega Oyetola of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of Osun State governorship election.
“Most certainly, we shall approach the Supreme Court for final adjudication on this matter. We appeal to PDP members and supporters in Osun State to be law abiding and shun all provocations,” PDP national vice chairman, South West, Eddy Olafeso said in a statement.
“We are certainly thinking, and importantly, in conjunction with our candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke to exploit the only available option to us, by appealing against this decision to the Supreme Court.”
An appeal court sitting in Abuja Thursday nullified the declaration of People’s Democratic Party’s Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the last governorship election in Osun State by the Election Tribunal.
Isiaka Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, who was recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) approached the appellate court to review the tribunal judgement that sacked him as the duly elected governor of Osun in March.
While the appeal court restored Oyetola’s victory at the election, the PDP chieftain said the ruling was an injustice to the country’s democracy.
