Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola Former Osun State Governor Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola has congratulated his successor, Ademola Adeleke over the Supreme Court Judgement.
The Supreme Court adjudged the judicial matter that arose from the July 16, 2022 governorship election and dismissed Oyetola's petitions for lack of evidence.
Reacting to the judgment, Oyetola said he believes in the Supreme Court Judgement, although he has a good case presented before the court.
“We strongly believe we presented a good case before the Supreme Court but the Court thought otherwise and has given its verdict. While the outcome is against our wish and that of our party members and supporters, we are all bound to accept it as law-abiding citizens, he said.
He encouraged his supporters to accept the judgement and remember that the party is still at the Federal level. He vows to continue to work for the growth and development of the state.
"To our members and supporters across the State, I urge you all to accept the verdict of the Court and move on. The present situation is a win-win for us. It’s both a loss and victory rolled into one. While we lost Osun technically, we gained Nigeria.
“I remain committed to the growth and development of Osun. I will therefore continue to work with well-meaning citizens of Osun, associations and institutions to facilitate development to our dear State. Similarly, I urge all citizens of Osun to continue to exhibit the Omoluabi ethos and uphold the dreams of our forebears for the State, irrespective of party affiliations.
Oyetola, while congratulating his successor, Ademola Adeleke, encourages his to prioritize the welfare of the state in his administration.

“Politics aside, time has come to let you know that the interest of the masses must be most paramount without any restriction or discrimination whether based on political persuasion, creed or religion. Whatever personal differences we have must give way to the advancement of our great State. The security of Osun people must be guaranteed regardless of their religious and political affiliations. I pray for peace and progress in your tenure, Oyetola added.
