Ex President, Olusegun Obasanjo has hailed Sen. Ademola Adeleke for his victory at the Osun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Friday in Abuja.
He praised the PDP man for his statesmanship in seeking the help of the court to demand justice.
He felt it was the right thing to do.
His words, “This is the right and proper thing to do in any decent society.
Going to court must be encouraged and not discouraged as some people are now attempting to do.
While I have refrained from commenting on the 2019 elections because one of the parties has gone to court.
May I point out that those who call themselves our development partners and friends and preach sacrificing justice on the altar of so-called stability are enemies of justice, democracy and Nigeria.
We will continue to sustain Nigeria in stability and unity on the altar of justice, equity, fairness, freedom, human rights and democracy.
Stability cannot be successfully built on injustice, corruption, inequity, and divided nation, and incompetence, nepotism and one-sidedness.
Nigeria will march forward with or without those who will want to feed us with diet of values and actions that are not acceptable in their own countries.
Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians. We will respect as friends those who believe that what is good for their country should be good for Nigeria.
Yes, we are Africans, but we have values that are consistent with international standards.”
