The Osun State Governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke, on Sunday berated Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for approaching the state’s election petitions tribunal to upturn the results of the July 16 governorship election in the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate as the winner of the election after polling 403,271 votes while Oyetola garnered 375,027.
The governor had since approached the tribunal to nullify the PDP candidate’s victory in the election, citing irregularities in 749 polling units across 10 local government areas of the state.
Speaking at an event in Iragbiji, Boripe local government area of the state on Saturday, Oyetola expressed confidence he would reclaim his mandate at the tribunal.
However, in a statement issued on Sunday by his media aide, Olawale Rasheed, the governor-elect described Oyetola’s claims at the tribunal as baseless.
