Adeleke: Timi Frank urges NJC, EFCC to probe Osun Tribunal Judges

…Says judgement compromised

A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Friday, described the majority judgement of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that purportedly sacked Governor Ademola Adeleke as highly compromised.

Frank in a statement in reaction to the judgement in Abuja, said the verdict fell short of expectations and does not reflect the will of the majority of the people of Osun who freely elected Senator Adeleke as Governor.

He called on the National Judicial Council to urgently cause a probe of the verdict with a view to restoring Adeleke’s mandate as well as penalizing any of the tribunal members found to have compromised on integrity.

He also called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to urgently investigate the judges who wrote the majority judgement and prosecute those found to have based their decision on other considerations rather than the true facts canvassed during the hearing of the case.

He also called on the United States of America to place a visa ban on the Osun tribunal judges found to have used their highly exalted position as arbiters to derail and frustrate the growth of democracy in the country.

He commended the judge who wrote the minority judgement for sticking to the truth and siding with the wishes and aspirations of Osun people that elected Adeleke during the last governorship election.

He however urged the people of Osun to remain calm and law abiding with the certainty that the mandate they freely gave to Adeleke would be retrieved at the appellate court.

He vowed that Nigerians will not fold their arms and watch any attempt to use the judiciary to again steal Adeleke’s mandate through the backdoor.

The majority decision preferring the server report over and above the BVAS machines themselves was not sound in law and cannot be sustained on appeal.

This is the handwork of Tinubu who likes manipulating judges to whims and caprice. The tsunami that swept PDP governors elected in SW during OBJ tenure in 2003 comes to mind on how the judges were compromised. Tinubu will surely be affected by this verdict in SW

Those judges collected bribes. It is very clear Adeleke won the election.

These Judges should be careful, before Nigerians come after them. They should be careful using semantics and legal technical jargons to steal the mandate of the people .


People can't just spend their time and resources in the sun and rain voting their preferred candidates, only for a few judges to sit down in an AC room and steal their mandate with the stroke of the pen.

Look at the anarchy these judges brought upon Imo state after stealing their mandate and foisting a crook called Uzodinma on the people. A state that was the most peaceful state in the entire country, a state that was known as the 'Las Vegas' of Nigeria.
Even the Governor they foisted on the people can't sleep with his two eyes closed in Owerri, he can't even travel to his village and hold meetings with his umunna in peace.

Judges will now be on the spotlight in this election. EVERY NIGERIAN electorate will be WATCHING them keenly.
