Supreme Court Verdict: Oyetola Sends Congratulatory Message To Adeleke

Adeleke and Oyetola

Immediate past governor of Osun Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has sent a congratulatory message to Senator Ademola Adeleke following his victory at the Supreme Court.

Oyetola in his message accepted Tuesday’s ruling of the Supreme Court which upheld the election of Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor of the state.

According to the statement, “To the Osun Governor, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your victory at the Supreme Court.

“While I pray for your tenure to be prosperous for our people and the state, I urge you to focus on the delivery of good governance.

“Whatever personal differences we have must give way to the advancement of our great state. The security of the Osun people must be guaranteed regardless of their religious and political affiliations. I pray for peace and progress in your tenure.” Oyetola said.

He also used the opportunity to urge members of his political party, All Progressives Congress (APC), his supporters, and those who voted for him during the July 16, 2022 governorship election to accept the judgment as the will of God.

“We strongly believe we presented a good case before the Supreme Court but the Court thought otherwise and has given its verdict. While the outcome is against our wish and that of our party members and supporters, we are all bound to accept it as law-abiding citizens.

“To our members and supporters across the state, I urge you all to accept the verdict of the Court and move on. The present situation is a win-win for us. It’s both a loss and victory rolled into one. While we lost Osun technically, we gained Nigeria.”

“I remain committed to the growth and development of Osun. I will therefore continue to work with well-meaning citizens of Osun, associations and institutions to facilitate the development of our dear State.

“Similarly, I urge all citizens of Osun to continue to exhibit the Omoluabi ethos and uphold the dreams of our forebears for the state, irrespective of party affiliations,” Oyetola said.
