peepydelano: In all honesty, I dislike Wike. He’s not a true party man, you can’t force everyone to dance to your tune, he should be wise enough to know when to back off from issues for the sake of unity among party members.
adecz: Adeleke in tight-corner as Tribunal accepts his forged documents as exhibits
By Adekunle Alao
There is every indication that the newly inaugurated governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is on his way out of government as the Tribunal hearing the petition filed by Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola of APC has accepted as evidence the forged documents he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission as attached to Form CF001 and EC9. The documents have been a subject of arguments in the last one month at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo.
Whereas his counsels had fought gallantly to discourage the Tribunal from demanding for the documents, they ( Adeleke's counsels) had no other choice today than reluctantly submitting the documents as requested.
Documents tendered as exhibits include:
(1) The forged West African Examination Council GCE result which he purpotedly sat for in December 1981.
(2) An obviously forged Testimonial purportedly issued by Ede Muslim Grammar School, Osun State of Nigeria in July 1988 at a time Osun State was not in existence. Osun State was only created by law on 27th August, 1991, out of the old Oyo State.
(3) A Letter of Attestation from Ede Muslim High School issued on 22nd May, 2016 but signed by the same principal that signed his purported Testimonial which he collected in 1988! Recall his Testimonial carries Ede Muslim Grammar School.
(4) A forged NECO result purportedly issued in 1981. Remember NECO came into being in 1999!
Before today, the Tribunal had received as exhibits a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Atlanta Metropolitan State College, USA, which Adeleke claimed he obtained within a period of 24 days. It is important to note that BSc degree in Criminal Justice in Atlanta Metropolitan State College is a four-year programme as indicated in the College's Worksheet and Program Map for the course. How Adeleke obtained within that short time, a degree whose duration is supposed to be four years, is still a mystery.
Counsel for Oyetola, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), was beaming with joy when he received the documents, having understood that the primary evidence to prove the forgery allegations against Adeleke has been handed to the court.
Contrary was the experience for counsels on the side of Adeleke because when the Tribunal chairman asked the INEC to open their defence, sensing outright defeat, he begged profusely for an adjournment which was granted by the court.
When the court reconvenes on December 20, it is for Adeleke's team to defend their client's 'Oluwole' results.

Where did you see all these lies?
Neco result in 1981 submitted by Adeleke in 2018? This strange!
press9jatv: And Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke win in the tribunal court of justice, Appeal court and Supreme Court of justice. Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke’s a goal. Victories on every side in the court of justice.
OsunOriginal: As electioneering picks up ahead of the 2023 elections, things are seemingly not going on well in the LP, Peter Obi's party. Peter Obi and his party have been missing in action, postponing rallies and not showing up, without notice, for campaigns. As if this is not enough, the LP in Ogun state decided to expel Doyin Okupe, the LP's presidential campaign DG, marking the first time the campaign DG of a supposedly leading presidential candidate would be kicked out of the part in the middle of campaigns.
Let's x-ray this and share what it portends for Obi's ambition.
It's obvious that peter Obi is in the wrong party. I have said it before that it is Obi that is promoting Labour Party. This is what you see when a party has no structure.
muykem: They are fighting for Northern Christian, leave Tinubu which his wife is a pastor, refused to support Peter Obi another Christian but supporting Atiku who refused to condemn Deborah killing (one of the same northern Christian). God will punish anyone hiding under Christianity to negotiate for his own political agenda. A serious hero of faith fighting for justices for Christians will not bother either Peter Obi will win or not but that the statement should be made. This buttress our point that these clowns are not fighting against Muslim Muslim ticket but because they are not the one picked.
You guys failed to accept reality. Dogora was right when he said Obi can't win. Kwakwaso can't win either. That's what the calculation of the politicians. They (Obi and Kwakwaso) are viable candidates but let's face reality. Tinubu made a big mistake with the Muslim - Muslim ticket. Again, the APC government has not done well to deserve Nigerians vote.
Dogora and co sees Atiku as a lesser evil and so, they decided to choose him. Obi would have been the best choice for them but they want the candidate who can the coming election.
We don't know what the future holds for our political system.
Vanpascore: The guy is clueless, the same issue when he first contested 4 years ago. He should have perfected the result issue before now. Sending him out of that office will be my joy because he isn't smart enough.
He has done that already. The APC requested for the results he tendered at the previous election.
