BOLA BAMIGBOLA chronicles the legal process that led to the ousting of Ademola Adeleke as the governor of Osun State by the state election tribunal
A member of the PDP from Osogbo Local Government Area, Toba Daisi, going historical, said “It is a case of history repeating itself. In 2019, he lost at the tribunal and went on to win before the Appeal panel and the Supreme Court.”However, many residents on Saturday stayed indoors in fear, as rampaging hoodlums stormed the streets against the verdict of the tribunal.
“The sacked Governor Adeleke has an option to appeal the tribunal judgement instead of resorting to self-help from the hoodlums who lack the capacity to influence the tribunal judgement that has been delivered in favour of our candidate, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola. Speaking, a former member of the Adegboyega Oyetola government stated that the All Progressives Congress leadership would urge the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to declare a state of emergency, over the spate of violence in Osun State.
“Senator Adeleke said he is going to appeal, he should go ahead and appeal. But if they continue like this, we will call on the President to declare a state of emergency. As of now, their thugs have been going around the state shooting indiscriminately As of now, I don’t have the figures for the casualties.
“During his days as commissioner, we all know he was the one that organised and managed thugs for the former governor, and we have repeated it that his failure to pay those he mobilised for their political warfare, was the reason for his security challenges now.
