Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Soji Adagunodo, has said that the party would appeal the verdict of the Court of Appeal which upheld Gboyega Oyetola as governor of the state.
The court on Thursday ruled that the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had “faulty composition” when it decided that Ademola Adeleke of PDP was the duly elected governor of Osun State.
Mr Adagunodo told Punchng.com on Thursday that the appellate court relied on a technical matter presented by the petitioner.
“Technicality was what Wole Olanipekun laid before the court. There was no argument about the decision of the tribunal that gave us victory. We will upturn the judgement at the Supreme Court,” he said.
“It is democracy at play. We will study the Appeal Court judgement appropriately and challenge it at the Supreme Court.”
