Ekiti South: Adeyeye, Olujimi in verbal war over petition for judicial review
The Appeal Court, in its judgment of November 2019, validated the outcome of the Justice Danladi Adeck-led Election Petition Tribunal, which ousted Adeyeye and declared Senator Biodun Olujimi of the People’s Democratic Party, the actual winner of the election.
Speaking while appearing on a programme tagged: ‘Journalists Hangouts’ , on Television Continental in Lagos, which was monitored in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, Adeyeye delved extensively on the review being sought, which bordered on the reversal of the appeal court judgment, describing the verdict as a travesty and abrasion of the rule of law.
“My opponent is afraid including her conspirators that I will always win anytime any day. If they declare another election now, I will win with a larger margin, that is the truth. “They should have asked at least another election, but they know if they hold this election in many times, I will always win”, Adeyeye stated.
The Senator queried that; “Does he want the tribunal to be reconstituted for him? After all, he had a representation of eminently qualified lawyers at both the tribunal and the Court of Appeal. Despite that, he got 3-0″.
