“The judgement also saved the country from brink of collapse and avoidable crisis. It is a testament to the fact that truth cannot be hidden and it is constant”

“We would have called for the disbandment of INEC should the ruling of the Tribunal stand because it was a clear assault on

“President Buhari and the National Assembly’s achievements on electoral reforms. In fact, the whole achievements would have gone down the drain.

“Truly the Judiciary remains the hope of the masses. I congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke on this occasion the entire members of PDP and Osun people as a whole”.
