The Senator representing Osun
West senatorial district, Ademola Adeleke has dismissed as laughable and an
abuse of court process a suit seeking his removal as a senator.
A statement issued Friday night
by Hon Niyi Owolade, Adeleke’s Legal Adviser, stated that the purported
constituents who filed the suit are proxy forces of the All Progressive
Congress (APC) and Gboyega Oyetola whom he accused of waging futile legal harassment
following signs of an imminent end to their usurpation of Osun governorship
seat.
The statement declared that “The
initial judgement that this irritating suit is based on has been widely
condemned by all learned minds, especially as the document wrongly declared as
forged was duly issued by the authorities of the school.
“It is in public domain and court
records that the school Principal deposed to an affidavit confirming the
testimonial and statement of results were duly issued by the school.WAEC’s deputy
Registrar also came to depose to an Affidavit in court with the Certified True
Copies of the same result submitted by Senator for his Senatorial election
screening. How can any human being still declare such result as fake or forged?
“We declare that the suit is
frivolous,clearly an abuse of court processes and a waste of the precious time
of the Judiciary.
“It is important to restate that
the matter of qualification and eligibility have been decided by two High Court
Judgements in Osun state. A recent ruling of the Appeal Court Akure Division
supports the Senator’s position. This matter is also subjudice as it is already
a matter before a higher court; The Appeal Court.
Senator Adeleke reassured his
supporters and people of Osun state that there is no cause for alarm as this
suit will surely be dismissed in its totality, declaring “this new APC’s
desperate move will fail woefully just like the others have failed.
“No amount of harassment,
embarrassment, intimidation and spreading of falsehood can change or stop the
quest for the retrieval of the “Stolen Mandate” freely given Senator Ademola
Adeleke.
“The people of Osun have spoken
with their votes. Their decision and choice of leader CANNOT be undermined and
subjugated by any abuse of force and powers”, the statement concluded.
