The Legal Team of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the Osun State governorship election said its attention has been drawn to widely circulated rumours of an alleged restraining injunction stopping the Peoples Democratic Party and the Independent Electoral Commission from recognising Senator Ademola Adeleke as the governorship flag bearer of the party at the September polls.
According to Taofeek Olayiwola, Esq who lead legal team of Senator Ademola Adeleke, he said, "we have copies of the court processes filed by the plaintiffs who are members of the All Progressive Congress, the reliefs they sought and certified true copy of the orders issued by the presiding judge.While the plaintiffs sought many bogus orders ,the judge only granted that the case be served on the respondents through substituted means,that the management of WAEC produced the list of students who sat for WAEC with the candidate and that hearing be resumed on Wednesday September 19th.
He further reiterated that nowhere in the certified true copy of the order was the candidate restrained from parading himself as gubernatorial flag bearer and no where was INEC and the PDP barred from treating Senator Adeleke as the candidate of the PDP for the September 22 polls. He affirmed that Senator Adeleke remains bonfide candidate of the PDP for the governorship election.
"We therefore urge members of the public to disregard any false rumours and fake news. No court has stopped Senator Adeleke as a candidate. Before the law and subsisting judgements,he is qualified and eligible to run for governorship of Osun state, the statement ended.
