Stop insulting the sensibilities of the judiciary, Osun APC tells Adeleke

Stop insulting the sensibilities of the judiciary, Osun APC tells Adeleke

Worried by the spate of the unguarded statements coming out from Senator Ademola Adeleke's mouth since he was declared the winner of the July16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned him to exercise caution in order not to talk himself into avoidable trouble.

It would be recalled that Adeleke boasted in Ijebu-Jesa few days ago while formally welcoming into the Peoples Democratic Party, the former  state commissioner for Finance, under Mr Rauf Aregbesola's administration, Dr Wale Bolorunduro. 

On the occasion, the PDP governorship candidate arrogantly disclosed that the APC and Oyetola's petition against his victory, his party and the INEC was dead on delivery, adding that there was nothing  substantial in the petition.

Reacting to the Adeleke outburst, the state APC chairman, Prince Gboyega Famodun, in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo, the state capital yesterday, cautioned Adeleke to stop forthwith insulting the sensibilities of the judiciary as it's improper to comment on any issue that is before the court in order not to be prejudicial.

The Osun State APC chairman hinted that there was no need for Adeleke to be grandstanding and trying to be clever by half as there was no reason under the sun for the PDP governorship candidate to be avoiding the service of the court process if actually there is nothing in the Oyetola petition.

Famodun advised Adeleke to sit up and stop  acting like a meddlesome interloper to the cause of justice.

The  state APC chairman reminded Adeleke that the court is not a rendezvous for the display of emotion and sentiment but verifiable facts.

 Famodun queried Adeleke: "Why have you been speaking from all the corners of your mouth as if you will  sit in judgement at the tribunal over the Osun governorship election petition?"
