The Court also stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Oyetola failed to prove their overvoting case against Adeleke.
In a statement issued on Friday through his media aide, Ismail Omipidan, Oyetola said he and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be heading to the Supreme Court to challenge the judgment of the appellate court.
The former governor, who expressed absolute belief in the judiciary, said he remains unshaken as there are solid grounds to seek further redress at the Apex Court.
He said, “We have heard the judgement of the Appeal Court, but we are yet to receive a copy of the judgement.
“However, from the snippets we are getting, we believe we have a potential ground to approach the Supreme Court.
“Our belief in the judiciary remains unshaken, just as my abiding faith in the God’s promise regarding the reclaim of my mandate remains undoubted.
“I, therefore, appeal to our supporters and party members to remain calm as we take the next step.”
