The All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Osun State, on Friday, said it will appeal the tribunal judgement that
declared Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner
of the September 2018 re-run governorship election in Osun.
Mr Kunle Oyatomi, the APC
Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, in a statement on Friday in
Osogbo, stated that the verdict would not stand superior legal scrutiny.
”We are going to appeal the
judgment. The verdict cannot stand superior legal scrutiny. Therefore we will
appeal against it,’’ NAN quoted Oyatomi as saying,
The Osun
State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on Friday
declared Adeleke winner.
The three-member panel said
during its ruling that the rerun election that held on Sept. 27, 2018, was
illegal.
The tribunal, therefore, deducted
the votes scored by the APC candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, in the rerun after
declaring the election illegal.
The tribunal said Adeleke won the
election at the first ballot on Sept. 22 and the rerun that INEC devised to
reach a final conclusion a week later was illegal.
