Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, has congratulated Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, the former governor of Osun State, on his victory at the Osun election petition tribunal.
On Friday in Osogbo, a three-man election tribunal chaired by Justice Tertsea Kume ruled that Oyetola is the duly elected governor of the state and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a Certificate of Return to Oyetola, while declaring the result that produced Ademola Adeleke as governor null and void.
The APC presidential candidate described Oyetola's victory as a "triumph of courage and perseverance, and light over the forces of darkness that sought to arrest the progressive good governance that the APC administration delivered to the people of Osun State under the leadership of Oyetola."
"I heartily rejoice with Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola on his well-deserved victory at the Election Tribunal today," Tinubu said in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Mr Tunde Rahman. It represents the triumph of light over darkness. Perseverance, courage, and justice triumphed over electoral fraud and democratic perversion.
"The forces of darkness plotted to extinguish the able leadership and progressive good governance that improved the quality of life of our people under your leadership. However, the Tribunal today delivered justice and restored the mandate freely granted to you and our great party.
"I am confident that the good work you championed that was momentarily paused will soon resume and Osun people will be happy again. And together, we can restore their faith in shared prosperity," he added.
