Nigerians Speaks On Tribunal Sacking Ademola Adeleke

Most of them argued that Ademola Adeleke remains governor of the state despite the tribunal judgement.

They also expressed optimism that Ademola Adeleke will be victorious at the appeal court and even up to Supreme Court.

Kanyi Daily earlier reported that the tribunal sacked Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of the state on Friday.

The tribunal in a split document of two to one declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), should withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Ademola Adeleke and issue the same to former Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

The tribunal hearing the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Oyetola’s petition against the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Ademola Adeleke annulled the result of the July 16 Osun governorship poll.

Meanwhile, Ademola Adeleke has rejected the outcome of the judgement.

Below are some of the reactions of Nigerians to the judgement.

“Adeleke is still the Governor of Osun State and I can assure you that after the Appeal and Supreme Court judgment, he will remain the governor till 2026.”

“Dear Gov. Ademola Adeleke, the people of Osun State stand with you having entrusted their mandate to you in July 2022. The rest of the country equally stands in solidarity with you because we believe in your capacity. Oyetola should prepare for 2026 and stop disturbing Osun people.”

“Court orders INEC to announce Oyetola as the new governor of Osun state over Adeleke. Strange things are happening. Adeleke has visited many tourist sites & destinations, it’s time for him to visit the most rugged tourist Center in Nigeria. He needs to visit Wike and seek help 📌.”
