The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has rejected the ruling of the election tribunal that voided his election and declared his opponent the winner.
He has also indicated his decision to appeal the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
Mr Adeleke called the judgement “a miscarriage of justice.”
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Mr Adeleke faulted the tribunal’s resolution of the over-voting question in favour of Mr Oyetola, calling it “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters.”
Despite the ruling of the tribunal, Mr Adeleke will remain in office until the higher courts rule on the matter.
