Appellate Court Judgement: Osun Attorney General, Bada Congratulates Hon. Awoyeye

The Osun State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Honourable Barr Oluwole Jimi-Bada, has congratulated his Kinsman and brother, Hon. Abiola Awoyeye on his victory at the Appeal Court, Lagos.

Hon. Awoyeye is the People’s Democratic party’s candidate in the state constituency election in Ife Central state constituency of Osun.

Recall that, barely a month ago the Osun State election petition tribunal in its unanimous judgement, had pronounced Hon. Awoyeye has the winner of the state House of Assembly election against the petition filed by Mr Odejobi Adeyinka, his rival from the All Progressive Congress (APC), in the said election.

The Attorney General’s congratulatory was issued by Mr Seun Arewa, Special Adviser to the Attorney General on Politics and Media at the Ministry of Justice, on Friday in Osogbo, Osun State.

The Attorney General noted that the joyful mood of well-meaning democrats following the Court of Appeal judgment had once again, confirmed that the party is popular and remains the only choice of the people in Ife Central Local Government particularly, and by extension in the state.

He added that the celebration of the people indicated that Awoyeye is popular in his constituency.

“To this end, we again congratulate the Judiciary for upholding the democratic tenet of the majority mandate freely given.

“We urge the Court to continue defending its constitutional role in the defence of the rule of law in Nigeria as a sure way of sustaining our nascent democracy.

“We admonish INEC to stop forthwith from taking sides in the conduct of elections in the country and maintain its statutory responsibility of an unbiased Umpire,” Honourable Oluwole Jimi-Bada added.
