The Minister of Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has reacted to the sacking of the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the election tribunal.
Adeleke’s victory was overturned on Friday by the election tribunal, which went on to declare Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the authentic winner of the election.
Adeleke had been sworn-in to succeed Oyetola on November 27, 2022.
Keyamo congratulated Oyetola, saying the PDP is well known for rigging elections.
He wrote, “Congratulations, Governor Oyetola of Osun State. PDP & rigging are 5 & 6.Â
“All Nigerians must watch them in the forthcoming elections, too. They want to take us back to the dark days of ballot snatching and writing of results, despite the best efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Keyamo is the spokesperson for the Bola Tinubu (APC) Presidential Campaign Council.
Meanwhile, Adeleke has rejected the tribunal’s verdict and has vowed to appeal.
