The tribunal, headed by Justice Terste Kume, sacked Governor Ademola Adeleke of the PDP and declared Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the governorship election that was held last 16 July.
After the judgement was delivered, members of the PDP trooped out of the court premises accusing the tribunal of injustice.
The party loyalists in their numbers rained curses on the panel members, accusing the court of attempting to impose a governor on the people of the state. One of the aggrieved party loyalists, Adeshina Oyinloye, who spoke to our reporter, expressed dissatisfaction with the judgement. “The judgement is unjust. We all voted massively for Ademola Adeleke during the election. Everybody willingly gave Adeleke the chance to rule the state,” he said.
