Osun State Government has filed an appeal against the judgement of the election petition tribunal which declared Ademola Adeleke the winner of the 2018 governorship election in the state.
Adeleke is the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2018 election in Osun State while Governor Gboyega Oyetola is of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mr. Wole Oyebamiji, the government assured the people of safety of lives and property.
The statement reads: “The Government of the State of Osun wishes to appreciate the teeming support of the majority of the people in all things essential for mutual progress.
“As it is, the administration of His Excellency, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola, Governor, State of Osun, wishes to assure the people that the judgment of the Election Tribunal has been put on appeal.
“This is to further assure all the residents of the State of adequate security of lives and properties, as the Government of the State is still the only legitimate Government having the authority to govern the State.
“We assure all our people that justice will prevail at last, and the law enforcement agencies have been instructed to maintain law and order across the State. We therefore urge all the residents of the State to go about their lawful duties without any hindrance.”
