Osun: No Moneybag From Bourdillion Can Save You – Lawyer Advises Oyetola

The Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola has been advised by a human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi to concede defeat and congratulate, Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Naija News had earlier reported that Adeleke was declared the winner of the 16th July 2022 governorship election in the state.

Olajengbesi in his reaction said Governor Oyetola would be disgracing himself if he heads to the court to challenge the people’s mandate.

He further stated that no moneybag from Bourdillion can save him from his defeat.

Olajengbesi in a statement released on Sunday wrote, “It is only wise for Governor Gboyega Oyetola to bury his head in shame, concede defeat and congratulate the people’s choice and the winner of the July 16, 2022, governorship election in Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Adeleke.

“The governor will be disgracing himself big time should he head to court or to the tribunal to challenge the people’s mandate. Oyetola should also know that no moneybag from Bourdillon can save him from this catastrophic defeat he suffered on Saturday. After all, Senator Adeleke only reclaimed the mandate that was stolen from him in 2018 through a sham rerun election.

“However, times have changed and the people of Osun have become wiser. The beauty of democracy is about choice – Governor Oyetola was kicked out of office by the people because of bad governance and poor performance; the people wanted more.”

He also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies for their role in the free and fair election.

Olajengbesi wrote, “The role of INEC and security agencies in this free and fair election can also not be overemphasised. They can only do more as we step into the bigger election season in 2023.

“Finally, I congratulate the people’s man – Senator Nurudeen Jackson Ademola Adeleke – for the rousing victory in Saturday’s election. It is a testament to doggedness and determination. The victory is for all people of conscience and lovers of good governance, which Senator Adeleke will provide. After darkness is light! Imole de!”
