CUPP hails tribunal’s judgment on Osun Guber Poll

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has said that it received with joy the news of the declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the Osun State governorship election by the Osun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

In a statement by its spokesman, Ikenga Ugochinyere, the CUPP said it sees the judgment of the tribunal as victory for democracy and affirmation of the supremacy of the sanctity of the ballot.

The statement reads: “The tribunal has given hope to Nigerians with this courageous decision to sack the impostor governor who was foisted on the people of Osun State through the barrel of gun instead of the ballot.

“The rampaging electoral robbery of the Muhammadu Buhari’s All Progressives Congress is beginning to crumble in their face with the determination of the judiciary to stand firm, despite monetary inducements and threats.”It also declared that the judgment “has reinforced the hope of the opposition that there is still men and women on the bench who can still stand firm and do the right thing.”
