The Peopleโs Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State is pleased with the ruling handed down by the Appeal Court in Abuja on Wednesday, 16 August 2023.
The ruling reversed a decision made by Justice H. N. Kanuza of the Ogun State Governorship Tribunal on Monday, and the PDP and its candidate for governor, Hon. (Dr.) Oladipupo Adebutu, filed an appeal.

You may recall that in the tribunal, Chief Gordy Uche, SAN, counsel for our side, argued that the Petitioners did not raise any new issue in their reply but rather responded to a new issue raised by the 2nd respondent (Dapo Abiodun) in his reply that was not part of the issues raised in the petition. The Tribunal sided with Mr. Dapo Abiodun, the second respondent, after hearing arguments from his attorney, Prof. Taiwo Osipitan, SAN, and struck out the second respondentโs reply to the petition.
We are, however, relieved that the Appeal Courtโs ruling today, written by Justice M. B. Idris and read by Justice Aliyu Waziri, appropriately upheld our long-held position on Abiodun and the APCโs desperation on his reckless act of vote buying and unprecedented voters inducements.
In addition to our gratitude and admiration for the Appellate Court, we would want to make an impassioned plea to the departing Governor of the State and, of course, his cabal of liars in the APC, which has been concerned with dishonest attempts to twist the truth in the verdict. It should be noted that the APC, through its errand speakers and lazy media urchins, has continued its voyage of deliberate lying on social media platforms in an effort to appease its membersโ unrestrained dreams and defeated imaginations.
The APCโs chief publicist, Tunde Oladunjoye, released a terrible watery statement today, and a thorough study of it reveals the extent to which Oladunjoye is unaware of our petition, our responses to his principalsโ response, and the full proceedings in the tribunal.
We have no interest in engaging in verbal sparring with Oladunjoye or the APC. ๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ค ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ช๐๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ช๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ก ๐พ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐; ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ข๐จ, ๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐จ ๐จ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ ๐ซ๐ค๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ง. ๐ผ๐๐๐ค๐๐ช๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ผ๐๐พ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ก๐๐จ๐๐๐.
We also ask that the general public understand that Mr. Oladunjoye must keep spreading false hope amongst his Partyโs supporters, which is why he is lying about the significance of the ruling.
Therefore, we recommend that he always consult with their Counsels to ensure accurate information before releasing any statements to the public.The people of Ogun State are a savvy lot who wonโt be fooled by pleas for public support.The more they try to hide their nakedness with rags, the more they expose themselves, so we must likewise remind him of this. Just how many untruths can you tell? A good lie requires a sharp recall.
