Today is Tribunal date in Osun State !!!

Adeleke in tight-corner as Tribunal accepts his forged documents as exhibits

By Adekunle Alao

There is every indication that the newly inaugurated governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is on his way out of government as the Tribunal hearing the petition filed by Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola of APC has accepted as evidence the forged documents he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission as attached to Form CF001 and EC9. The documents have been a subject of arguments in the last one month at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo.

Whereas his counsels had fought gallantly to discourage the Tribunal from demanding for the documents, they ( Adeleke's counsels) had no other choice the last hearing day than reluctantly submitting the documents as requested.

Documents tendered as exhibits include:

(1) The forged West African Examination Council GCE result which he purpotedly sat for in December 1981.

(2) An obviously forged Testimonial purportedly issued by Ede Muslim Grammar School, Osun State of Nigeria in July 1988 at a time Osun State was not in existence. Osun State was only created by law on 27th August, 1991, out of the old Oyo State.

(3) A Letter of Attestation from Ede Muslim High School issued on 22nd May, 2016 but signed by the same principal that signed his purported Testimonial which he collected in 1988! Recall his Testimonial carries Ede Muslim Grammar School.

(4) A forged NECO result purportedly issued in 1981. Remember NECO came into being in 1999!

Before the last hearing. . ., the Tribunal had received as exhibits a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Atlanta Metropolitan State College, USA, which Adeleke claimed he obtained within a period of 24 days. It is important to note that BSc degree in Criminal Justice in Atlanta Metropolitan State College is a four-year programme as indicated in the College's Worksheet and Program Map for the course. How Adeleke obtained within that short time, a degree which which lasts for four years, is still a mystery.

Counsel for Oyetola, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), was beaming with joy when he received the documents, having understood that the primary evidence to prove the forgery allegations against Adeleke had been handed to the court.

Contrary was the experience for counsels on the side of Adeleke because when the Tribunal chairman asked the INEC to open their defence, sensing outright defeat, he begged profusely for an adjournment which was granted by the court.

When the court reconvenes today December 20, it is for Adeleke's team to defend their client's NECO result he obtained in 1981 and other Oluwole certificates he submitted to INEC!!!!

Oyetola is back.

Dancing governor might have won but if it's true that he submitted a forgged documents, he shouldn't just be sacked but also prosecuted.

No room for fraudsters including the from the East.

But this isssue of forgery has been settled by the court in the past why is it coming again? Why was Adeleke, his lawyers INEC, PDP lawyers jittery concerning this issue? Time will tell.

No case here. The issue has been settled before.
