Osun Guber: I Have Assurance Tribunal Will Declare Me Winner – Gov Oyetola

Gboyega Oyetola and Ademola Adeleke

Osun state governor, Gboyega Oyetola, says he has faith that the Osun Election Petition Tribunal will upturn the victory of Sen Ademola Adeleke and declare him winner of the July 16 election.

Mr Oyetola made the assertions at the annual Photography and Videography Day celebration on Sunday in Osogbo.

Represented by Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, his Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Mr Oyetola said his faith in the judiciary remained unshaken.

“For now, there is a little setback and challenge, but I want to assure you that we are standing tall and confident of victory.

“With what we have before the tribunal, there is no cause for alarm.

“We believe that by the grace of God, we will glorify God and celebrate our victory,” he said.

The governor thanked the people of the state for their support for his administration since its inception in 2018.

He also commended members of the association for standing by his administration, assuring them of the government’s continuous assistance for the growth of their businesses.

Mr Oyetola filed a petition at the election tribunal on August 5, challenging the outcomes of the July 16 governorship election won by Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate.
