Adeleke will challenge Oyetola’s document, says aide

A spokesperson for Osun State governor-elect, Rasheed Olawale, has said the ongoing tendering of documents by counsel to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the last July 16 Osun governorship election, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola was not in any way an indication of judicial victory.

Olawale further berated the APC for allegedly engaging in media trial by pretending to be achieving mileage, when the documents were result sheets signed by APC agents and the BVAS report.

In a statement obtained in Osogbo on Thursday, Olawale said the petitioners were currently presenting their case, which included the presentation of documents relating to the electoral processes.

The statement further read in parts, “The petitioners have time allotted to them. We will be challenging the admissibility of many of the submitted documents in our final address, after which the panel will deliver a ruling in their judgments. This implies that there is nothing special or spectacular about the ongoing presentation.

“We should all be aware that after the petitioners have presented their case, the defence team will take its turn to also make a presentation. We will also present documents, call witnesses, and submit hard materials. Our case suffers no setback, as nothing has happened that indicates any positive turn of events for the petitioner.

“We have remained silent on the court matter because these are trying days for a top son of Osun State, Davido, and the entire Adeleke family. Let me reassure our people that Mr. Oyetola is just continuing his failed media propaganda as nothing incriminating or damaging has happened to our governor-elect at the Tribunal.”
