The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said its candidate in the Osun state governorship election, Senator Ademola Adeleke, will retrieve his “stolen governorship mandate” at the Supreme court.
The party insisted that there was no way the will of the people, which they openly expressed in voting for Adeleke, would be allowed to be lost.
The party in a statement Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, said the fact that the Court of Appeal had a split judgment indicates that justice was not fully served at the appellate court.
He stated: “The party says it is not in any way shaken by the judgment of the Court of Appeal, but stands with Nigerians in the confidence that justice and respect for the will of the people of Osun state will definitely prevail at the Supreme Court.
“It is instructive to state that the Court of Appeal did not contest or invalidate the fact that Senator Adeleke won the election but only cited technicalities and speculations to arrive at its decision.”
