Gboyega Oyetola, a former governor of Osun State, has stated that the decision made by the election petition tribunal on Friday, which recognised his win in the governorship election on July 16, 2022, was a collective triumph for the country’s democracy.
Speaking with reporters from his rural Iragbiji home, Oyetola claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stands to gain the most from the ruling, even though no one can claim victory.
He declared, “There is no victor, no vanquished. It’s a collective victory for our State and our nation’s democracy.
“I’m happy that the judgment resolved the controversy of the July 16 2022, governorship election.
“INEC is the greatest beneficiary of the judgment.”
Oyetola also expressed appreciation to the residents of Osun State and his faithful followers for their continued support of him and the APC.
