The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday, congratulated the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, over his victory as the Supreme Court upheld his election as the duly elected Governor of the State.
Governor Adeleke had won the July 16, 2022 governorship poll.
This was contained in a statement signed by National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba on the Twitter handle of the Peoples Democratic Party, @OfficialPDP.
The PDP said: “The verdict of the Supreme Court, the highest Court in our Country serves as the ultimate triumph of the will of the people of Osun State as expressed at the Polling Units, in their resolve to free their State from oppressive, retrogressive and anti-people forces.
The Party said that the judgement of the Supreme Court had further restored the confidence Nigerians reposed in the institution of the Judiciary and “the hope for the sustenance of democracy in our country.”
The PDP commended the Supreme Court for its courage in upholding justice and reaffirming the saying that “the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man.”
The Party congratulated the good people of Osun State and restated its charge to Governor Adeleke to continue in his stride to reposition and rebuild the State in line with the people-oriented policies, programmes and manifesto of the PDP.
Reactions trailed the congratulatory message on Twitter:
