Following the Judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja that upheld Governor Ademola Adeleke as the governor of the Osun State, the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has said that Governor, Adeleke is underserving of Adegboyega Oyetola’s congratulatory message.
This was disclosed via a statement signed by his acting chairman, Mr. Tajudeen Lawal and obtained in Osogbo the Osun state capital.
The statement was in reaction to governor Adeleke’s interview with Arise Television on Monday where he stated that he was expecting a congratulating message from Oyetola after the Court of Appeal’s ruling.
Responding further to Adeleke’s claim in the interview, Lawal asked what would be the basis for Oyetola to congratulate Adeleke when there was an ongoing election process.
The statement further read, “I don’t understand the thinking of Adeleke. Is he saying that Oyetola should congratulate him for killing no fewer than 30 members and supporters of our party to secure his pyrrhic victory?
“If Adeleke has conscience, does he want to pretend that he wasn’t aware that his party, the PDP, turned Osun State to a killing field before, during and after the elections, the results of which he is dubiously flaunting to feign non-existing popularity and acceptability?
“Adeleke will have to wait till eternity for a congratulatory message from Oyetola whom he robbed in the daylight during the elections that were won for him by the militia wing of his administration. If congratulatory messages are being sold in an open market, it is not a hyperbolic expression to state that our candidate, Oyetola, cannot extend one to you for one Kobo.
“Why would a potential respondent in the Supreme Court in an extant matter demand for a congratulatory message from an appellant if not for an ulterior motive or lack of knowledge of the workings of the judicial endeavours?
Adeleke does not merit Oyetola’s congratulatory message as it is being forcefully demanded by the governor as it is not for frivolous ventures.”
