The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Obokun State Constituency in the 2019 House of Assembly elections, Hon Olatunbosun Oyintiloye on Monday described as a landmark the judgment of election petition tribunal that nullified the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Adewumi Adeyemi.
The election petition tribunal sitting in Osogbo on Monday nullified the election of the PDP candidate following the petition filed by Oyintiloye and ordered rerun elections in four units in Esa Oke and Ilase communities.
Oyintiloye in a statement said the judgement was a confirmation that the election was manipulated to favour the PDP candidate against the popular wish of the people.
According to him, “again, the PDP and its candidate have been exposed and the judiciary has restored our hope through the judgement.
While commending the tribunal judges for their fearlessness and commitment to the rule of law, he said, again the judiciary had proven its probity.
Oyintiloye thanked the state governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola and his predecessor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola for their support to ensure that the stolen mandate of the people of Obokun is restored.
He also commended leaders of the APC, starting from the state chairman, Prince Gboyega Famodun and members of the party in the state and Obokun constituency for the support and steadfastness during the nullified election and the tribunal proceedings.
