APC Legal Team Disowns Election Petition Against Adeleke
The legal team representing the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, has publicly disowned the election petitions filed against Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke's victory in the Osun State governorship election. Adekunle Adegoke (SAN), a leader of the legal team, confirmed that no petition was filed on behalf of the APC candidate and that a decision was made not to contest the election results.
This decision was reached after discussions among the legal team, which included four Senior Advocates of Nigeria and other legal experts. Adegoke emphasized that while there were grounds for challenging the election results, the team opted for peace and stability in Osun State, allowing time for the situation to settle.
The team advised their client that it was best not to pursue the tribunal, and the client agreed, prioritizing the welfare of the people over immediate legal action.
