Former Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has hinted plans to head to the Supreme Court over the judgement of the Appeal Court.

According to him, there are even grounds for him and his party, the All Progressives Congress APC, to contest the verdict given on Friday, March 24 in favour of Ademola Adeleke, the incumbent Governor.

The Appeal Court yesterday upturned the decision of the Tribunal that initially sacked Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Oyetola said he believes in the judiciary and he is unshaken, adding that from the snippet available from the judgement, there is solid ground for him to seek further redress at the Apex Court.

A statement from his media aide, Israel Omipidan reads;

“We have heard the judgement of the Appeal Court, but we are yet to receive a copy of the judgement. However, from the snippets we are getting, we believe we have a potential ground to approach the Supreme Court. Our belief in the judiciary remains unshaken, just as my abiding faith in the God’s promise regarding the reclaim of my mandate remains undoubted. I, therefore, appeal to our supporters and party members to remain calm as we take the next step.”
