Fresh political and legal battles may be on the horizon in Osun State as the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Akin Ogunbiyi, have rejected separate court judgments.
The parties described the rulings as unsatisfactory and insisted that the legal fight is far from over. They also vowed to challenge the decisions at higher courts.
APC Faults Osun Court Rulings
The Osun APC said it was not satisfied with the outcome of the court judgment affecting the party.
According to party officials, the ruling failed to properly address key issues raised during the case. The APC maintained that it still believes strongly in its position and is prepared to continue the legal process.
Party leaders assured supporters that their legal team is already reviewing the judgment and taking the necessary steps toward an appeal.
The party expressed confidence that the appellate court would carefully examine the issues and deliver a fair outcome.
Ogunbiyi Rejects Judgment
ADC governorship candidate Akin Ogunbiyi also rejected the court’s decision.
He described the judgment as disappointing and said he would not abandon the matter. Ogunbiyi stressed that the issues involved are important and deserve further judicial consideration.
He revealed that his legal team would immediately begin the process of challenging the ruling at the appellate court.
Despite his disappointment, Ogunbiyi urged his supporters to remain calm and continue to have confidence in the judicial system.
Legal Battle Moves to Appeal Court
With both the APC and Ogunbiyi rejecting the judgments, attention is now shifting to the next stage of the legal process.
Political observers believe the appeals could play a significant role in shaping future political developments in Osun State.
For now, the dispute appears headed for another round in court as the affected parties seek to overturn the decisions through legal means.
The coming weeks are expected to determine how the appeals progress and what impact they may have on the state’s political landscape.
