I won’t be deterred by tribunal’s verdict, Appeal Court ‘ll favour me – Oyetola

Osun state governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has said the verdict of the Election Petition Tribunal that nullified his election would not deter him from continuing ongoing projects.

Addressing his supporters, Oyetola said the ‘split judgment of two of one’, would not deter him, expressing optimism that the appeal court would be in his favour.

“I want to appeal to our people to remain calm with the judgement of the Tribunal. I want to appreciate you for identify with me over yesterday verdict. Well, it was a split judgement of two of one and it’s not unanimous.

“There is a dissenting judgment, the Chairman of the tribunal disagreed on the issues on noncompliance and the nullification of the rerun.

“We urge our people to remain calm and be steadfast in prayers. By the Grace of God, the verdict of the Appeal Court will vindicate us.

“Our people should  have faith in God, and believe that nothing has actually changed. We are appealing against the tribunal judgement and by the grace of God, we will  come victorious. I want you to believe that God has actually ordained this government.

“God has ordained this government, to the service of our people, and nothing will actually change that, you need to go about your business. The governor remain the governor and nothing has changed that, we are in the government and we will continue to go on.

“You should start enlightening people who are ignorant of the judgment that, there is nothing to worry about, I remain the governor of the state of Osun.

“Am energised, nothing has changed. I remain the governor of the state of Osun and I’m promising you to do my best.”
