Osun: It Will Be Hard To Impeach Tribunal’s Judgement, Falana Tells Adeleke’s Lawyers

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has stated that it will be a daunting task for the lawyers of the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke to overturn the verdict of the Osun State Governorship Election Tribunal.

Recall that the tribunal sacked Adeleke for overvoting at over 700 polling units in the governorship election and declared the former governor, Adegboyega Oyetola as the winner of the July 16, 2022, gubernatorial election.

Falana, while speaking during an interview on Arise TV on Sunday, urged voters in Osun State to sue the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for damages over the wastage of votes.

He said, “What the voters in those areas have to do is to sue INEC for damages that you have wasted my votes.

“Looking at the judgement, I believe very strongly that it is going to be a daunting task to impeach the judgement. INEC has to be held completely responsible for what happened.

“INEC will have to go back to the drawing table so that we will not have this experience. INEC will have to put its house in order, If we have this in a presidential election, where you issue one or two reports, it will have a crisis of monumental proportion.”
