Osun Guber: APC, PDP trade words over pending appeal court case
DAILY POST reports that the majority ruling of the 3-man election petition panel sitting in Abuja to hear issues surrounding the September 22 and 27 Osun gubernatorial election, and supplementary election respectively declared the candidate of the PDP, Senator Ademola Adeleke the winner of the poll.
The APC, in a swift reaction, therefore, dismissed the allegation as, “a smear campaign’ against the party, which was deliberately designed to blackmail judges of the Court of Appeal. “This is not only insidious blackmail of the respectable and honourable Judges, the PDP is also attempting to disparage the integrity of the Judges and instigate public skepticism, perhaps even rejection of the Court’s decision if it turns out not to be in PDP’S favour.
“It is surprising that a political party that hired touts and protesters against a well-articulated judgement in favour of the mandate freely given to Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke and the PDP by the people of the state could suddenly become friendly and turned to a self-acclaimed defender of the same judicial institution it recently blackmailed and publicly insulted.
“One wonders why the ruling Party limited its then anti-tribunal judgment protest to Osogbo township alone, why didn’t they replicate the demonstration in every local government areas of the state like the spontaneous jubilation that greeted the victory of Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke and the PDP,” Adagunodo inquired.
