Governors elected under the the umbrella of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke over his victory at the Supreme Court.
The PDP Governors gave their congratulatory message in a statement signed the Director-General of the PDP Governors Forum, Cyril Maduabum on Tuesday.
Truth Live News had reported that the Supreme Court in Abuja upheld the victory of the PDP candidate Ademola Adeleke and set aside the appeal of Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressive Congress APC in which he challenge the outcome of the February, 25 2023.
The statement described the court verdict as “a confirmation of truth over falsehood, a vivid affirmation of the will of the Almighty God in the affairs of Osun State, and without fear or bias, sealing the choice of the people of the state whose determination has finally seen light at the end of the tunnel.”
While commending the five-man panel of the Apex Court for rightfully setting aside the erroneous judgement of the Election Petitions Tribunal, and for consolidating on the Appeal Court’s earlier verdict, the forum noted that the judgement is a triumph of democracy and due process in Nigeria.
According to the governors, “the news of the apex court verdict did not come as a surprise because of the massive support that Governor Adeleke received and has been receiving from the people and residents of Osun during and after the governorship election; and for this.’
“The forum celebrates the people of Osun State for their dedication and steadfastness which is even more evident in the total support given the PDP at the February/March general elections which saw the party clinching most of the seats at the national and state elections.
Furthermore, the forum prayed for wisdom and God’s favour in the life of Adeleke as the affirmation of this mandate has cleared the path for him to settle down in the enormous tasks of rendering selfless services to his people and taking Osun State to greater heights.”
