Adegboyega Oyetola, who was recently declared the victor of the Osun governorship election that took place in July 2022, has received congratulations from Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate.
According to Tinubu, this triumph symbolises the triumph of light over darkness.
The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo ruled on August 3, 2022, invalidating Governor Ademola Adeleke's victory in the July 16, 2022, gubernatorial election.
In a statement signed by his media assistant, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu defended Oyetola's victory.
“I heartily rejoice with Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola on his much-deserved victory at the election tribunal today,” read part of the statement.
“It’s the victory of light over darkness, a triumph of perseverance, courage and justice over electoral fraud and democratic perversion. “
