The People’s Democratic Party,
PDP, governorship candidate for September 22, 2018 election in Osun State,
Senator Ademola Adeleke, has called on his supporters to prayerfully and
peacefully await the ruling of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court had on Monday
fixed judgment for July 5, 2019 in the appeals filed by Adeleke following an
Appeal Court ruling in favour of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.
A seven-man panel of the court,
led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Muhammad
chose the date after taking final arguments in respect of the main appeal,
marked: SC/553/2019 filed by Adeleke.
Adeleke’s message was contained
in a statement by his media consultant, Olumide Lawal, on Friday, where he also
maintained that as a man at peace, he would want his supporters to remain calm.
The former lawmaker expressed
hope that by the special grace of God and the judicial process, economic
prosperity beckons on Osun State.
Adeleke called on the people of
the state to “be rest sure that I will not disappoint you when I eventually,
through the grace of god and instrumentally of the judiciary” emerge victorious
after the Supreme Court judgement scheduled for July 5.
He urged his supporters to
discountenance the utterances of the opposition “in their bid to whip up
sentiments and lower their spirits.”
Adeleke said that he had passed
through the crucible and fire and came out untainted, saying: “this has
prepared me solidly for the task of serving humanity without bias, ill-wind or
grudge towards anybody as a God-fearing man, brought up in total humility and
milk of human kindness in his veins to serve the less-privileged and physically
disadvantaged people in the society.”
