A former judge of the Osun State High Court, who was recently retired by the National Judicial Council, Justice Olamide Oloyede, has said she has no regrets writing the petition against Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his deputy, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori.

The retired judge said this while featuring on a radio programme, Frank Talk, aired by Rave FM and monitored by our correspondent in Osogbo on Monday.

Oloyede, however, apologised to the governor and the deputy for using certain words which she ought not to have used in the petition but stressed that she was convinced beyond doubt that she did no wrong by writing the petition where she asked the members of the House of Assembly to impeach Aregbesola and Laoye-Tomori.

She explained that she had no animosity against the governor, adding that she did not violate any section of the constitution for talking about the issues affecting the people of the state.

Oloyede said, ” I have no regrets writingthat petition, but I think in retrospect I have come to realise that perhaps, I didemploy some words or language in respect of Mr. Governor and his deputy, which I ought not to have and so, today I am tendering an unreserved apology, public apology for the choice of certain words which I would not repeat.

“However, as far as the substance of that petition is concerned, I remain resolute and I am convinced that my actions were done in fidelity to my office and to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigerian , which I swore to uphold and out of love for my country.

“As we say in law, the fact speaks for itself and as I said earlier, the petition speaks for itself. I would rather not go over the content of the petition, which I believe is in the public’s possession. My reason for writing is clearly stated there. I am a person known for my own conviction and the only regret I have, I have said it, every other thing I said I meant it word for word.

”She stated that some believed that the judiciary should only be seen and not heard even if the country was collapsing, but Oloyode said she did not belong to this class of people.

Madam Judge, there should not be any regret for criticising the fridge repairer ruling ruining our people from Bola Ige House, Osogbo.
You did right and we hope & pray that others will be encouraged by your bold, courageous move to also speak out against TYRANTS.
Bravo!
Kudos!!
E go on soun, ma!!!

Many people may actually kick the bucket before Buhari's turn, you inclusive. Be careful what you wish for others.

I don't think as a judge you are allowed to write a petition against a sitting governor it's unprofessional

That is the spirit

This is a rare breed...

NJC retired her for speaking the truth to aregbesola. But they ignored the mountains of corruption before them. The constitution has to be reviewed. NJC should not sit as judge in their own case. Eg CJN mahmud is the head of a very corrupt cabal in the supreme court yet he is supposed to preside over NJC to discipline erring judges, how is that possible?

His paparazzi propaganda expert, Eko Ile aka aresa, has also moved on to greener pastures.
