The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday told the state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke to put away his thought that, his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola will congratulate him on the appellate court ruling saying, there is nothing justifiable to warrant such over a subsisting election matter which is Supreme Court-bound soonest. NIGERIAN TRIBUNE reports.
It will be recalled that Adeleke in an interview with Arise Television on Monday had stated that he was expecting a congratulatory message from Oyetola, the APC governorship candidate, in the July 16, 2023 election who was adjudged the winner of the election by the Justice Tertsea Kumeh-led governorship election petition tribunal but reversed by the Court of Appeal, Abuja, last Friday.Information Guide Nigeria
But, the party in a statement by its spokesperson, Chief Adekola Olabisi on behalf of the state Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal maintained, “I don’t understand the thinking of Adeleke. Is he saying that Oyetola should congratulate him for killing APC members?NYSC Portal

“If Adeleke has conscience, does he want to pretend that he wasn’t aware that his party, the PDP, turned Osun State to a killing field before, during and after the elections, the results of which he is dubiously flaunting to feign non-existing popularity and acceptability?
“Adeleke will have to wait till eternity for a congratulatory message from Oyetola whom he robbed in the daylight during the elections that were won for him by the militia wing of his administration.”
“If congratulatory messages are being sold in an open market, it is not a hyperbolic expression to state that our candidate, Oyetola, cannot extend one to you for one Kobo.”
“Why would a potential respondent in the Supreme Court in an extant matter demand a congratulatory message from an appellant if not for an ulterior motive or lack of knowledge of the workings of the judicial endeavours?
“If congratulatory messages are being sold in an open market, it is not a hyperbolic expression to state that our candidate, Oyetola, cannot extend one to you for one Kobo.”
“This is a follow-up to the subtle pressure being put on Oyetola not to access the Supreme Court since about three days ago which was kick-started by the Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA); one charge-and-bail activist lawyer Olajengbesi; Diran Odeyemi and the expired state caretaker committee chairman of the PDP, Dr. Akindele Adekunle, among other apologists of the PDP”, the state APC acting chairman said.JAMB Result
