Osun: Three of the judges agreed Governor Adeleke forged

 

Contrary to the claims of the interim Governor and his cohorts, three of the judges agreed on the fact that he forged his certificate, while two concurred that there was indeed over-voting in the July 16 Governorship election.

And in accordance with the Electoral Act, the invalid votes were separated from the valid ones and Oyetola was declared as the validly-elected Governor of Osun State. Therefore, issue of "Member 1" and " Member 2" being propounded by Senator Ademola Adeleke, Kolapo Alimi and the rest only exists in their imagination. It is a pity that the interim Governor does not know and those we thought should know ended up misleading the poor man.

In the lead judgement, which was over 90 pages, "we" featured prominently to indicate that the position reached were arrived at by two or more persons. Similarly, the dissenting judgement, which was just 8 pages, "I" featured prominently to indicate he was alone in that decision. How Senator Ademola Adeleke's men were able to confuse him that an 8-page judgement can be used to upturn an over 90 pages of sound and scholarly judgement, which are well grounded in law and facts, remains a mystery to me.
