The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has, in good fate, accepted the judgment of the Supreme Court and the confirmation of the mandate of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the authentic winner of the July 16 governorship election in the state.
The APC revealed that the verdict of the supreme court was painful.
The now opposition party (APC) has told the ruling People’s Democratic Party PDP that they would meet in the trenches when it’s time.
This was revealed in a communiqué issued by the acting chairman of the party Tajudeen Lawal.
While speaking in Osogbo, the capital of the state: “Even though we are not happy with the judicial decision, the Supreme Court decisions were final, which could not be challenged in any other court of the land.”
“While we are congratulating the beneficiary of the judgment, we make bold to state that we shall not be found wanting in playing our expected opposition roles to keep the government on its toes.
“The members and supporters of our party should refuse to be downcast with the current political situation in the state as the nature of politics is that one does not win all the time.
“The prevailing condition of the winner(s) of today does not make him the perpetual winner, as the political office which was contested for is a tenured one for a period of four years, after which we shall have the opportunity to slug it out with those who are rejoicing over today’s victory.
“It is, however, worthwhile to state that our party and our candidate, former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, might have lost the election as the apex court of the land pronounced it, but it is visible to the court of the public that they never lost the battle.
“That Osun State is a common patrimony is the reason we are assuring the PDP and the government that we shall be meeting in the trenches when it is constitutionally ripe to do so,” Lawal stated.
The chieftain of the party said the party will soon communicate its members about the next development.
