Osun Guber: Nigerians React As Tribunal Declares PDP’s Adeleke Winner

By Abimbola Johnson On Mar 22, 2019

Nigerians have reacted to the declaration of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Governorship candidate in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, winner of the September 27, 2018 election.

The declaration was made by the Osun State election Tribunal on Friday.

A three man tribunal held that the September 27 rerun election in the state was illegal.

The tribunal also ruled that PDP and Adeleke proved that it was the state Returning Officer, who cancelled the results in seven Polling Units, adding that the petitioners also proved that the Returning Officer has no power to cancel election results of a polling unit.

The latest development means that Adegboyega Oyetola, who contested under the All Progressives Congress, APC will no longer continue as governor of the state.

See Nigerians reaction below:

Congratulations, Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, Governor Elect of Osun State.

Ultimately, Nigeria and its people will be victorious over this tyranny.

Buhari is accusing the Judiciary of corruption while his party is involved in open rigging of elections. The same Buhari now expects the so called 'corrupt' Judiciary to uphold mandate gotten illegally in Osun. Ademola Adeleke presented a good case & the judiciary did its job https://t.co/FzHdW5CCJn

For once, a reason to believe in our democracy and the judiciary.

Osun, Oyo, Kwara and a few other states have shown that no office or individual is greater than the office of the citizens.

Congratulations Sen. Ademola Adeleke

A big congratulations to Senetor Ademola Adeleke for his victory. When God says YES no one says No. ATIKU's mandate can only be delayed bt can't be denied.

As much as i am happy for Senator Ademola Adeleke's victory at the tribunal i am fearful for his competence. Anyway, he still has two steps (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court) ahead to go.

The judiciary doesn't want the executive arm to control it's activities. Onnoghen's treatment angered some members of the NJC. Therefore, any petitioner just need a good case with a very good legal team against the ruling party like Ademola Adeleke, victory is guaranteed. https://t.co/FzHdW5CCJn
