“The Lord Justices of the Courtof Appeal have served justice this afternoon by restoring Governor Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected Gov of Osun State.

“The judgement also saved the country from brink of collapse and avoidable crisis. It is a testament to the fact that truth cannot be hidden and it is constance.

“We would have called for the disbandment of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC should the ruling of the Tribunal stand because it was a clear assault on President Buhari and the National Assembly’s achievements on electoral reforms. In fact, the whole achievements would have gone down the drain”, he stated.

Hon. Oke further declared that “Truly the Judiciary remains the hope of the masses. I congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke on this occasion the entire members of PDP and Osun people as a whole.”

Appealing for calm, the lawmaker said “The APC Family of Osun should accept this judgment in good faith and join hands with Sen. Ademola to move Osun statef forward.”

“In any electoral contest in a democracy you win some you lose some . Political campaigns and electoral contests have come and gone . It’s time to settle down for governance”, he added.
