Osun: Secondus, Obi, CUPP congratulate Adeleke on victory at tribunal

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Uche Secondus, has congratulated the party’s gubernatorial candidate for Osun, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, for his victory at the election tribunal.
Secondus, in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr Ike Abonyi, said that the judiciary should be hailed for standing up for the truth by declaring Adeleke winner of the Sept. 22, 2018 governorship elections in Osun.
He said that the Osun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, by its ruling, had helped to restore hope to Nigerians that all stolen mandates shall be recovered and retuned intact to the rightful winners.
Secondus commended the judges for putting truth and justice ahead of any other matter in carrying out their professional responsibilities.
Similarly, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the party in the Feb. 23 Presidential Election, Mr Peter Obi, hailed the tribunal for declaring Adeleke winner of the election.
Obi said he had always believed that the Judiciary would save Nigeria’s democracy.
“The ruling has shown that all hope is not lost about this country, as the judiciary continues to show really that it’s the last hope of the people,’’ Obi said.
In the same vein, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) also described the judgment as victory for democracy and affirmation of the supremacy of the sanctity of the ballot.
CUPP, in a statement issued by its Spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, said that the tribunal had given hope to Nigerians.
