Afenifere, the pan Yoruba group has applauded the verdict of the Ondo State Gubernatorial Elections Petitions Tribunal which nullified the contrived victory of Chief Olusegun Agagu in the April 14, 2007 elections.
Afenifere, the pan Yoruba group has applauded the verdict of the Ondo State Gubernatorial Elections Petitions Tribunal which nullified the contrived victory of Chief Olusegun Agagu in the April 14, 2007 elections.
Now that Agagu, like Liyel Imoke, has been stripped of immunity, the EFCC must swing into action and apprehend the duo over their roles in the power sector scandal.
We have always maintained that there is a nexus between the darkness that has enveloped Nigeria after $16b was sunk into the power sector and the fact that all past three ministers of power have since become Governors.
That the election of two of them cannot stand Judiciary scrutiny tells us where the money meant for generating light went into.
The declaration of Olusegun Mimiko of the Labour Party as the rightful winner of the election is a victory for democracy, rule of law and the image of the judiciary which has been battered by some questionable decisions by some tribunals recently.
We congratulate the people for at last being relieved of an illegitimate Governor 'Voted" into office by 'Mike Tyson", 'Chukwuma Soludo", 'Nelson Mandela", and other fictitious names imported into the voters register.
We commend the Ondo tribunal members for being steadfast and truthful to their duty as dispensers of justice without fear or favour. They remain the source of shame to those who have compromised justice in different parts of the country because they could not resist filthy lucre.
