The 2022 Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has reacted to the judgement of the Court of Appeal of Friday, that ruled that he was not the authentic winner of the July 16, 2022, Governorship election in the State, Page 36 learnt.
He stated that himself and his party have grounds to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision to the Supreme Court, where he is sure of victory.
In response to the Appeal Court’s decision, which overturned the Tribunal’s decision that initially sacked Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Oyetola specifically stated that his faith in the Nigerian Judiciary remains unshaken.
In a statement issued by his Media Aide, Ismail Omipidan, he said that from the snippets of the judgement made available, there are solid grounds to seek further redress at the Apex Court.
The statement partly reads: “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.”
