The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Thursday declared that its candidate in the last Osun State governorship election, Senator Ademola Adeleke, would reclaim his \u2018stolen\u2019 governorship mandate at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan said PDP was not in any way \u201cshaken by the judgment of the Court of Appeal but stands with Nigerians in the confidence that justice and respect for the will of the people of Osun State will definitely prevail at the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The party insisted that \u201cthere is no way the will of the people, which they openly expressed in voting for Senator Adeleke will be allowed to be lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ologbondiyan stated that the fact the Court of Appeal had a \u201csplit judgment indicates that justice was not fully served at the appellate court.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt is instructive to state that the Court of Appeal did not contest or invalidate the fact that Senator Adeleke won the election but only cited technicalities and speculations to arrive at its decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court of Appeal failed to act on the full and substantial import of the failure of the Independent National
\nElectoral Commission (INEC) to produce the ballot papers and record of accreditation to disprove our position that INEC altered results and subverted the will of the people of Osun State.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur party and candidate are, therefore, confident that the Supreme Court will look at the merit of the matter and ensure that justice is served by recognising Senator Ademola Adeleke as Osun State Governor.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
