Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke and his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola will know their fate in the controversy trailing the outcome of the July 16, 2022 governorship election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the poll, saying he polled 403,371 votes to sack Oyetola who was the then incumbent with 375,027.

Oyetola and his party – the All Progressives Congress (APC) had alleged irregularities in the polls and challenged Adeleke’s victory in the Election Petitions Tribunal.

Respite came for the former governor on January 27, 2023, as Justice Tertse Kume who gave the majority judgement upturned Adeleke’s victory and declared Oyetola the winner of the poll.

Justice Kume held that Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 against Adeleke’s 290,266.

Not satisfied with the judgement Displeased, Adeleke and the PDP headed to the Court of Appeal, which on March 24 nullified the tribunal judgment and returned Adeleke as the winner.

Aggrieved with the Appeal Court verdict, Oyetola and the PDP headed for the Supreme Court, which held the matter on Monday and fixed judgment for today (Tuesday).

Channels Television which monitored the sitting of the apex court panel on Monday reports that the parties adopted their briefs and addressed the court after which the panel announced Tuesday for judgment.

However, both the ruling PDP and the opposition APC are hopeful that the highest court in the land will rule in their favour to strengthen their grip on the South-Western state.

My Take As Supreme Court Prepare to Deliver Judgment Today.

These are points to note in the previous Apeal Court judgement delivered in favor of Sen. Ademola Adeleke. We should all recall that the Appeal Court which has 3 Judge's as Member that decided the Tribunal Appeal gave unanimous decision. Their unanimous judgment are from this point below.

1. That Adeleke Ademola did not forge any certificate, which was one of the ground that Oyetola/APC used to challenge the declaration of Sen. Ademola Adeleke victory and it will be recall that even at Tribunal it was declared that no forgery in the document submitted to INEC.

2. That Alhaji Oyetola and APC did not proof any over voting at the Tribunal. It should be recall again that the over voting allegations was one of the ground OYETOLA/APC used in challenging the victory but they were unable to prove this over voting allegations and it is said in law that he who assert must proof beyond reasonable doubt.

3. That Oyetola/APC withness who was called to testify and prove the over voting was not an expert in the field. Which means that the evidence wasn't an expert to testify before the court.

4. That the court award the fine of #500,000 to be pay by Oyetola in favour of the Appellant, which means that court did not just award a fine in a litigation without finding such case null and void.

I will be right to say that we shouldn't be surprise if the Apex Court demise OYETOLA/APC appeal against the Appeal Court Jugdement which touch across all area of ground been challenge from the tribunal stage.

To the good people of Osun State, Our joy will last forever, while APC in Osun will continue to enjoy their opposition duty forever and ever.

By 2:00pm we dance and rejoice as we await victory.

I'm USELAW.

Supreme Court Queries Oyetola's Counsel On Physical BVAS Machine, Reserves Judgment Till Tomorrow

Supreme Court on Monday reserved judgement on the appeal filed by former governor Gboyega Oyetola against the election of Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, just as the Court questioned Counsel to the former governor for his attempts to deceive the court with his silence over importance of physical BVAS machine to the election over and above server report, in line with the electoral act as amended.

Apparently dazed by the question, Oyetola's Counsel stuttered and rigmaroled as he could not proffer any reasonable response to the query which is cardinal for the determination of the appeal.

The proceedings which lasted less than one hour saw the apex Court streamlining all the five appeals into one, basis on which judgement will be delivered.

Counsel to Governor Ademola Adeleke, the PDP as well as INEC, while adopting their separate briefs already with the Court, urged the lord Justices of the apex Court to discountenance attempts by the APC and Governor Gboyega to hijack the popular mandate of the people of Osun State in an election they did not win, describing Oyetola and APC's appeals as tantamount to an unserious hunter looking for the legs of a snake.

The learned counsel wondered why the APC are hell bent in re-writing the law by trying to shift burden of proof of their own allegations on the respondents.

According to them, the new electoral act does not envisage a situation where respondents, particularly in election matters would assume position of discharging burden of proof.

Such a situation, according to the counsel, sounds unreasonable by a desperate thief caught pants down in the very act. Adeleke's counsel therefore entreated the Court to throw away the appeals, saying Oyetola and APC only want to eat a pie in the skye.

Sincerely, I want Oyetola to win because he really tried in Osun State. But I hate his affiliation with Tinubu and APC
