Osun 2022: Adeleke Optimistic As Supreme Court Rules on Babayemi’s Suit Today

Osun governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has expressed confidence in getting a favourable judgement as the Supreme Court rules on the suit instituted against his candidature as the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Osun July 16 governorship poll.

The Supreme Court will on Thursday rule on the case filed against Adeleke by a governorship aspirant on the platform of the PDP, Prince Dotun Babayemi.

Babayemi had asked the court to invalidate primaries that produced Osun governor-elect, citing non compliance with court order.

In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke said he expected a favourable judgement from the Court.

The statement further read, “There is no tension here. His Excellency calls on his supporters to remain assured of eventual victory because we stand on legality from the begining of the process to the end. Our positive expectation is also borne out of the strong faith Senator Adeleke has in the judiciary as a house of justice and seriousness.

“The judiciary and all stakeholders are fully aware that the primary that produced Senator Adeleke is approved and supervised by the National Executive Committee of the PDP with electoral Commission in attendance and with the right legal candidate participating.

“So the Governor-elect has absolute faith in the judiciary. His message is for our people to be calm as victory is right at our door.”
