….. Raises alarm over plan to uphold ‘Buga lo lo lo’ judgement
A human rights organization, the Centre for Human Rights and Social
Justice (CHRSJ) has urged the Chief Justice of Nigeria(CJN),Hon.
Justice Oluwakayode Ariwoola and the Supreme Court of Nigeria, against
setting the peaceful Osun State on fire with the bias judgement on the
2022 Governorship Election tussle slated the judgement for Tuesday 9th
of May, 2023.
The group alleged the Supreme Court of planning to uphold the biased
‘Buga lo lo lo’ Tribunal acclaimed majority Judgement of Justice T. A.
Kume in order to return former Governor Gboyega Oyetola back to the
Okefia Government House through biased judicial verdict on Tuesday.
It further alleged that the Supreme Court Judges to be coordinated by
Hon. Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun have been holding sinister meeting
with the concern Judges to ensure that Mr. Oyetola who lost the July
16,2022 Governorship Election in Osun State were declared winner by
jettisoning the Appeal Court Judgement that declared Governor Ademola
Adeleke as the true winner of the 2022 governorship election State.
The group also raised alarm that Mr. Oyetola and his cohorts have been
using the name of President-Elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu to
intimidate and induce the Supreme Court Judges to manipulate the wheel
of justice in favour of Oyetola, adding that it would be a dark day
for our nation’s nurturing democracy if the Supreme Court dance to the
tune of Oyetola in delivery their judgement on Tuesday.
The group maintained that the four(4) years previous administration of
Oyetola was full of flagrant disregard to Court
pronouncements(including Supreme Court Judgement) ,adding that the
same Oyetola was clamouring to get justice through the backdoor from
the Supreme Court on the election he lost gallantly.
CHRSJ, in a signed statement by its Executive Chairman, Comrade
Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman and copies were made available to newsmen on
Monday, insisted that Governor Ademola Adeleke was eminently qualified
to contest for the office of the Governor as stipulated by the amended
1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Appeal Court
of Justice through its judgement in 2018.
Sulaiman,who urged the five (5) Supreme Court Judges that presided
over the Apex Court Election Petition Panel on Appeal Judgement on
Petition N0: EPT/OS/ GOV/ 01/2022, to remain steadfast to do the
rights thing by upholding the position of the Appeal Court Judgement
which was the wish of God and good people Osun State, especially, Osun
State electorates that voted massively for Governor Adeleke during
July 16th, 2022 Governorship Election.
According to CHRSJ: “Meanwhile, it has come to the knowledge of our
organization (CHRSJ) that the mini committee has been set up at the
Supreme Court of Nigeria to be coordinated by Hon. Justice Kudirat
Kekere-Ekun as part of the plan to ensure the Supreme Court returns
Oyetola back to Governor’s office,Abeere, at all cost as they did to
return Governor Hope Uzodinmma who came fourth in 2019 Imo State
Governorship Election through the Supreme Court Judgement.
“Since announcement by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to deliver its
judgement on Osun governorship tussle on Tuesday, the State political
atmosphere is not presently conduceived for any otherwise in respect
of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory from 2022 governorship
election.So, we do not want all let loose because the law is cleared
in respect of Ademola Adeleke landslide victory of 2022 Governorship
election,as well displayed by Osun electorates during the just
concluded 2023 general elections and also confirmed by the Court of
Appeal on the same subject matter”.
The statement message to the Supreme Court jurists: “Compromised
judiciary is endangering of democracy because uncompromising judiciary
is the bedrock of sustainable democracy in any clime.It is our fervent
prayers that God Almighty would direct the noble cause of our Supreme
Court Judges to safeguard our nurturing democracy through their
pronouncements without fear or favour by developing a bold spirit as
identified by Late Lord Alfred Dennin, to do justice to good
electorates of Osun State that voted massively for Governor Ademola
Adeleke during the July 16th,2022 governorship election in the State”.
