“PDP legal team is taking appropriate action on the petition filed by the APC-led government and I called on his supporters at home and abroad to remain calm as “This divine victory cannot be stolen through the backdoor.

“I urge the good people of Osun State who voted massively to reject bad governance to remain calm. We are doing the needful to defend their mandate. We will do all within our powers to ensure judicial validation of our victory as this is an election globally certified as a great advancement in electoral transparency and integrity.
