Governor Adeleke Condemns Federal High Court Ruling on Accord Party Deregistration
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State described the Federal High Court’s judgement deregistering five political parties as an abuse of court process and a direct violation of a subsisting Court of Appeal order.
He expressed surprise that the lower court proceeded with a ruling despite the Court of Appeal having already addressed the matter, citing the record before Justice Peter Lifu J where the Appeal Court stated that the delivery of judgement remains part of its proceedings.
Adeleke urged Osun residents to remain calm, assured them that the Appeal Court will hear the matter tomorrow, and said efforts to stop Osun people from voting will fail. He affirmed that the Accord Party will be on the ballot on August 15 and predicted an overwhelming victory in the forthcoming governorship election, adding that the campaign flag‑off will proceed as scheduled.
He also noted that his legal team is taking all necessary steps to correct the wrong.
