A Nigerian writer identified as Princewill Chimereze has taken to his Facebook page to caution the new governor-elect,l in the 2018 governorship election in Osun state Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and supporters who are celebrating over the judgement of the tribunal as he gave examples of Dakuku and Mama Taraba who were declared winner by the Tribunal, Igbere Tv reports.
Read what he wrote below;
“Adeleke Don’t celebrate yet, Dakuku, and Mama Taraba also won at the tribunal
I was walking home from work when a friend called me with joyous tone that the tribunal has declared the pdp candidate for Osun Gubernatorial election winner. I asked what was the celebration all about he said he is now the governor na. I just called him “olodo and dropped the call.
Tribunal judgements since election cases gets to the Supreme Court has become mere academic exercise. After the 2015 governorship election, many candidates who lost the election went to court. Yours truly followed the cases of the then Rivers State Apc governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside and Taraba State governorship candidate of the Apc Mrs Aisha Alhassan, (Mama Taraba).
These candidates won at the tribunal and the court of appeal but lost at the apex court. So what’s the celebration all about? Adeleke and the PDP should not celebrate yet until this matter gets to the Supreme Court.
So I wonder the need for this half celebration that might be shortlived.
People should understand intrigues of legal battles before rushing to celebrate.”
