Osun: How Supreme Court robbed Adeleke, PDP – Lawyers condemn ruling affirming Oyetola’s victory
They wondered why the Supreme Court would punish candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Ademola Adeleke, because of purported absence of Justice Peter Obiora during one of the tribunal sittings.
The Convener of COPILA, Pelumi Olajengbesi in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday entitled: “Osun State: An aberration of Justice enforced by the Supreme Court”, said the verdict has killed “the long vision of liberating Osun State.” “Today, our apex court substantially spat in the face of the Osun electorate undermining a key feature of its very own creation being that manifest justice must be done and seen to be done at all times.
Olajengbesi said, “Apparently, his faith in the courts and our judicial process has gone unrewarded and has been sacrificed on the alter of vain glorious pursuit of legalism and its damning rigidity.
