The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has insisted that he remained the rightful winner of the Osun State July 16 governorship election following his sack by the tribunal.
Adeleke who described the verdict as “a miscarriage of justice”, further vowed to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
While urging his supporters to remain calm, Adeleke vowed to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal.
In a statement signed by his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, on Friday, Adeleke said:
“I call on our people to remain calm. We will appeal the judgement and we are sure justice will be done. Let our people be reassured that we will do everything possible to retain this widely acclaimed mandate.”
Justice Tetsea Kume, while delivering a majority decision, declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission did not comply substantially with the constitution and the provisions of the Electoral Act.
