The tribunal yesterdaydirected the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to issue acertificate of return to Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP as theduly-elected governor of the state.
When the first leg ofthe election was conducted, Adeleke led the polls but INEC declared itinconclusive and after the supplementary election, the commission returnedAdegboyega Oyetola, as the governor.
As jubilation eruptedin Adeleke’s camp, state APC director of Publicity, Research and Strategy,Kunle Oyatomi issued a statement in Osogbo, declaring that the verdict wouldnot stand superior legal scrutiny.
The state chapter ofthe PDP promptly disagreed with him as the party commended the judiciary forwhat it called a “landmark judgment.”
