2019 Lagos State Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate, Dr Adetokunbo Pearse has said the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal’s decision to name Senator Adeleke winner of the Osun State governorship polls is in accordance with the rule of law and is a decision defending our democracy.
The Tribunal sitting in Abuja had recently declared Sen. Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Sept. 22, 2018 Osun governorship election as winner.
The three-member panel revealed that the re-run election that held on Sept. 27, 2018, was illegal.
Reacting, Pearse, a university teacher, said the tribunal had done the proper thing to defend Nigeria’s democracy.
His words, “Now that the nation has the result as it should be, we thank God. Victory should be given to the right person.
All we want is for the tribunal to do the right thing, to say the truth and follow the rule of law. They have followed the rule of law here, we commend them.
The tribunal has been democratic in its decision.”
