The Court of Appeal on Friday confirmed Ademola Adeleke as the Osun State Governor. BOLA BAMIGBOLA writes that the matter is not yet over as the governor’s predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola, is set to take the battle to the Supreme Court
Speaking further on why they felt, with Adeleke’s victory at the Court Appeal, the governor was not far off from safety, even though the hurdle of the Supreme Court had yet to be surmounted, a chieftain of the PDP in Osogbo local government, Asimiyu Olaiya, and Thomas Oladipo, who preferred to be identified as Adeleke’s supporter, as well as, Foluso Orimadegun, a member of the ruling party in the Ifelodun Local Government, all posited that Osun governor would survive the last lap of the race,...
“You can also check out how the 2018 political battle between Oyetola and Adeleke started and ended. If you do diligent analysis, you will see that thunder will surely strike twice at the same spot with the turn the current court case between the two men is taking. But many supporters of Oyetola and members of APC dismissed this position, insisting that the Apex Court would uphold the decision of the lower Tribunal and return Oyetola to office.
“But, tell them the two cases are not the same. We have put Court of Appeal decision behind us. Our attention is now on the Supreme Court and we know Oyetola will get a favourable judgement at the Apex Court. We believe that is going to happen.” “It is not cast in iron. Nobody can precisely say that the cause of history in 2018 to the litigation between Oyetola and Adeleke will repeat itself. It may be, and it may not be, except if people who are directly involved know they have cause to let that history repeat itself. If they have not taken any cause to make such history repeat itself, there won’t be any circumstance for that history to repeat itself.
