Governor Ademola Adeleke, has lauded the Court of Appeal’s decision to stay proceedings in a suit seeking the deregistration of the Accord party and other political parties.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor commended the appellate court for what he called its professionalism and commitment to justice, describing the judiciary as “the last hope and refuge of the citizens,”
Adeleke stated that the ruling had effectively frustrated efforts by some individuals to prevent Accord members from participating in the August 15 election in Osun State.
“I am using this opportunity to commend the judiciary for protecting the sanctity and integrity of our democracy from deliberate abuse by anti-democratic elements. On behalf of the good people of Osun State, we thank the justices and the entire judiciary,” the governor said.
According to the governor, the ruling by the Court of Appeal has further strengthened public confidence in the nation’s democratic process.
“As we escape the trap of those seeking to avoid free and fair elections, I congratulate Accord leaders locally and nationally,” he stated.
He called on party members and supporters to intensify mobilisation efforts ahead of the August 15 poll, expressing confidence in the continuation of his administration.
“We should now redouble our campaigns to secure an overwhelming victory on August 15. We must be bold, strong and resolute within the confines of the law to sustain and extend our mandate,” he said.
