The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State has reacted to the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor Gboyega Oyetola to challenge the result of the July 16 governorship election before the Election Petition Tribunal.
NPO had reported the decision of Osun State APC and governor Gboyega Oyetola to drag the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the PDP and the governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke before the Election Petition Tribunal over the outcome of the poll.
The decision was disclosed by the State Party Chairman of APC in Osun State,Prince Adegboyega Famoodun on Thursday.
Reacting, the PDP described the decision as “a wasteful voyage and an exercise in futility,” and condemned the approach, labelling it as “anti-people and a challenge of God’s will”.
In a statement by the PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle, stated that the mandate given to Adeleke by the Osun people had come to stay.
