AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The lawmaker representing Obokun State Constituency, Irekandu, has urged the people of Osun State to remain calm over the judgement of the tribunal which sacked Senator Ademola Adeleke as the governor of the state, AMILOADED reports.
Irekandu while describing the judgement as “a miscarriage of justice” urged the members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and loyalists of Adeleke to remain calm “in the face of injustice”.
Irekandu who assured PDP members of victory at the appellate court, said lawyers of the PDP and Senator Adeleke have identified major loopholes in the ruling which he said would be trashed at the Appeal Court.
The lawmaker also stressed that the “acclaimed victory” of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is “partial, without root and an orphan”.
He said, “Three judges sat on the matter. The majority agreed that Senator Adeleke is qualified to contest for the top seat. One of the judges dismissed the argument of the APC over unconvincing arguments and no reference to the voter register. The chairman of the panel favoured the APC and its candidate in his ruling.
“The other judge simply thanked everybody and later signed the ruling of the chairman after it was forwarded to her. These are contestable in higher courts. We have headed there and it will be addressed.”
Irekandu thanked all the PDP members for their support and appreciated the leaders of the party for their “guidance and tutelage always”.
“Imole is everywhere. Osun people are very resolute in their choice. They voted for Adeleke and they will keep him there. Osun people can not afford to go backwards. Their favourite politician and unique leader remain unshakeable,” he added.
