Atiku Abubakar, the presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has consoled Ademola Adeleke
of the PDP, following his loss at the Supreme Court’ ruling of the Osun State
Governorship Election.
The apex court in a split
judgment on Friday agreed substantially with the Court of Appeal which ruled
that a majority judgment delivered at the tribunal was a nullity, thereby
validating Gboyega Oyetola as the governor of the State.
Reacting to the judgment, Atiku
who is also challenging President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory in court in a
series of tweets said Supreme Court which ruled has the judicial finality, so
the legal case is over.
I join with people of goodwill all over Nigeria to say to Senator Ademola Adeleke, and the people of the great state of Osun, that we stand with them in good times and in difficult days.
The Supreme Court has ruled and because of its judicial finality, the legal case is over.

However, the love, acceptance and endorsement that the people of Osun bestowed on both Senator Adeleke and the @OfficialPDPNig is not over and cannot be overlooked.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) July 5, 2019
Those who think this is the end of the road for Senator Adeleke and the PDP in Osun, are greatly mistaken. This is not the end. Not even the beginning of the end. No. Today marks the continued ascendancy of Senator Adeleke and his party in the hearts and minds of his people.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) July 5, 2019
The great people of Osun had expected that the progress and development that the Adeleke family had consistently brought to Osun will be translated to their governance. That hope is not dead. Only delayed.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) July 5, 2019
