Remain calm on the Federal High Court decision over Osun governorship primary, Famodun assures APC members
The chairman of the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Prince Gboyega Famodun, has enjoined all the members of the party and their numerous supporters to put their minds at rest over the Federal High Court, Abuja, decision which yesterday nullified the nomination of Governor Gboyega Oyetola as the candidate of the party in the July 16, 2022 governorship election.
The state party chairman in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo yesterday stated that the exercise was a mere distractive ploy by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) to disorganise and put the party in disarray because its handlers were aware of the brighter chance of the APC and its candidate in the ongoing governorship election petition tribunal in Osogbo.
Famodun stated that it was strange that the case was instituted by the PDP despite the fact that the there is an avalanche of decisions up to the Supreme Court that are not in agreement with the latest decision.
The state APC chairman who appealled to the party members and supporters to remain calm, explained that the team of the party lawyers would be challenging the decision at the Court of Appeal with a conviction that the decision would be upturned.
He explained that the position of the law is that only the members of the APC who participated in the primary election have the legal authority to challenge the nomination of Governor Oyetola as the candidate of the party.
Famodun who reiterated the confidence of his party in the ongoing governorship election petition tribunal to get justice in the case before it also expressed an undoubted confidence of the APC in the Court of Appeal to set aside the latest decision of the Federal High Court.
He explained further that the latest development was the handiwork of the opposition within and the PDP who are playing a futile game of distraction of our members.
Famodun vowed that the Osun APC and its candidate, Oyetola, are unshakeable with this antic aimed at unsettlling our members which has fallen flat.
The Osun State APC chairman disclosed that nothing could stand on the way of the party from pursuing the litigated governorship matter to a logical conclusion with a view to getting justice for Oyetola
In Famodun’s words: “The Osun PDP handlers and their collaborators are apparently jittery because of the iron-cast evidence before the tribunal on why Oyetola should be declared the winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship election.
“That’s why the PDP handlers and their co-travellers are looking for all available means to constitute a clog on the path of justice.
“Unfortunately for the PDP and the enemies within, the antic shall be an exercise in futility”, the state APC chairman said.
