The embattled of Osun State, Governor Ademola Adeleke has vowed to appeal the judgement of the Tribunal which sacked him on Friday, January, 27 2023 as governor to the supreme court.
He urged all his followers to remain calm, adding that he would do everything possible to retain this widely acclaimed mandate.
Adeleke, who spoke through his verified Twitter account, said: “I want to use this opportunity to call on our people to remain calm.”
“We will appeal the judgment, and we are sure justice will be done.” Let everyone be reassured that we will do everything possible to retain this widely acclaimed mandate. God bless Osun!”
Earlier today, Ademola Adeleke was removed as governor of Osun State by the constitutionally elected Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, should revoke the Certificate of Return it gave to Adeleke and to former governor Adegboyega Oyetola, according to a split decision by the panel of two to one.
According to the majority ruling, which was read by the chairman, Justice Tertse Kume, Oyetola received the majority of legitimate votes—314,931—as opposed to Adeleke’s 290,266.
