The Chairman of the House of Representatives committee on Public Accounts, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, has commended justices of the Court of Appeal for serving justice by restoring the mandate of the governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, urging the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) to accept Court verdict in good faith.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja shortly after the judgment, Hon Oke, representing Obokun-Oriade Federal constituency on the platform of the PDP, said the judgement has once again reaffirmed the confidence of Osun people in the nation’s judiciary.
According to him, “The Lord Justices of the Court Of 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 the brink of collapse and avoidable crisis. It is a testament to the fact that truth cannot be hidden and it is constant”
The lawmaker averted that “we would have called for the disbandment of 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 submitted.
