The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it would reclaim
what it termed its Osun governorship mandate at the Supreme Court
following its defeat at the Appeal Court.
The PDP in a statement on Thursday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said it is not in any way shaken by
the judgment of the Court of Appeal, but stood with Nigerians in
the confidence that justice and respect for the will of the people
of Osun state would prevail at the Supreme Court.
“The party insists that there is no way the will of the people,
which they openly expressed in voting for Senator Adeleke will be
allowed to be lost.”
“The PDP notes that the fact the Court of Appeal had a split
judgment indicates that justice was not fully served at the
appellate court.”
“It is instructive to state that the Court of Appeal did not
contest or invalidate the fact that Senator Adeleke won the
election but only cited technicalities and speculations to arrive
at its decision.”
“The PDP has also noted that the Court of Appeal failed to act
on the full and substantial import of the failure of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to produce the
ballot papers and record of accreditation to disprove our position
that INEC altered results and subverted the will of the people of
Osun State.”
“Our party and candidate are therefore confident that the
Supreme Court will look at the merit of the matter and ensure that
justice is served by recognising Senator Ademola Adeleke as Osun
State Governor,” the PDP said.
