DAILY POST had reported on Friday that the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo overturned the victory of Governor Ademola Adeleke at the July 16th 2022, governorship polls.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Tinubu, in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, insisted that Oyetola\u2019s win was deserving.<\/p>\n

The former Lagos State governor described Oyetola\u2019s win over Adeleke as a triumph of perseverance and courage over electoral fraud.<\/p>\n

The statement partly read, \u201cI heartily rejoice with Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola on his much-deserved victory at the election tribunal today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the victory of light over darkness, a triumph of perseverance, courage and justice over electoral fraud and democratic perversion. \u201c<\/p>\n
