ATIKU ON OSUN RULING: YOU CAN’T BROWBEAT THE JUDICIARY.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
      The Presidency finds very ridiculous, and even comical, reaction of former Vice President and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to the Supreme Court ruling affirming the election of Mr Gboyega Oyetola as governor of Osun State. In the statement, the former Vice President had stated: “I urge the nation’s judiciary to take a pulse of the nation and reflect it. In their hands, God has placed a  great responsibility. The duty to ensure that justice is done, irrespective of the pressure to do otherwise, by the powers that be.” Many things fly in the face of logic, reason, and legality in this portion of the statement. Alhaji Abubakar urged the judiciary to reflect the pulse of the nation in their judgments. Learned people know that the judiciary comes to conclusions drawing from matters of law placed before it, and not sentiments, or so-called “pulse of the nation.” A pertinent question is: how does the judiciary gauge the pulse of the nation?

OSUN: PDP EXPRESSES SHOCK OVER SUPREME COURT VERDICT.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
       July 5, 2019 Press Statement The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is shocked at the ruling of the Supreme Court on the contentious Osun State Governorship election. The fact that the Supreme Court had a split judgment also speaks volumes on its verdict in this matter. Our study of the judgment however shows that the Supreme Court did not negate the position of the PDP and millions of Nigerians that our candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke won the election, but based its verdict on reservations over issues of technicalities arising at the election petition tribunal. Nevertheless, our party stands with overwhelming majority of Nigerians on that undeniable fact that the people of Osun State, by the votes cast at the poll, preferred Senator Adeleke as their governor. The PDP, as a law-abiding party, however, urges the people of Osun state to remain united, calm and not lose hope in our democratic process and the quest for a government that truly represents their wishes and

Subsequently, while trying to escape from the security agencies, some of the siphoned fuel spilled into the drainage and the vandals were alleged to have set the spilled fuel on fire in a bid to prevent the security agencies from apprehending them. Thereafter, the fire spread back to the point where the vandals had siphoned the fuel causing explosion which escalated the fire.
