PDP reacts to Osun governorship election tribunal judgment

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to the verdict of the Osun State Governorship Election Tribunal which sacked the sitting Governor of the state, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The party rejected the verdict of the tribunal which cancelled the electoral success of the incumbent Governor.

The party referred to the judgement as an attempt to rubbish the mandate of the people in the July 16, 2022 guber election.

The spokesperson of the party, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in a statement in Abuja, the nation’s capital, on Friday said, “The judgment of the Tribunal is contrary to the Will of the people of Osun State which was expressed by the overwhelming votes cast for our Party and Candidate at the election.

“The July 16, 2022 Governorship election in Osun State was adjudged by Local and International Observers to be free, fair, transparent and clearly won by the PDP and our Candidate, Governor Ademola Adeleke in confirmation of the wishes and aspiration of the people.

“The Will of the people of Osun State as expressed by electing Governor Adeleke must be respected. As a law-abiding Party, the PDP will explore all available legal means to restore the victory of our Party.

“The PDP charges the people of Osun State to be calm, remain at alert and continue to support Governor Adeleke as we restate our confidence in the Institution of the Judiciary to dispense justice in this matter at the Appellate Court.”
