An Aide to Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State, Ismail Omipidan has appealed to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to
remain calm in the face of the decision of a Federal High Court that nullified his candidature in the July 16 gubernatorial election.
“For the records, the position of the law is that only members of the APC who participated in the primary election can approach the court to challenge the nomination of Oyetola as the candidate of the party. “They want to distract us from the tribunal case. But we shall remain focused until we take back our mandate. We have confidence in the Tribunal to do justice in the case before it, just as we have implicit confidence in the Appeal Court to set aside this latest decision of the Federal High Court,” Omipidan said.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Emeka Nwite while giving the order in a judgment declared as null and void, the nomination of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Benedict Alabi by the APC.
