Hundreds of members and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in their numbers, trooped onto the streets of Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Friday to express their displeasure over the judgement of the Election Petition Tribunal.
The protesters, who marched from Jaleyemi area of Osogbo, gathered at the popular Olaiya junction at about 4pm.
No fewer than three PDP branded vans were sighted amongst other vehicles, including motorcycles, as the junction became crowded and rowdy.
The demonstrators mounted road blocks at the roundabout, hindering free movement of vehicles.
However, it was a peaceful demonstration as residents calmly continued their day’s activities.
The aggrieved PDP members accused the Election Tribunal of injustice and unfairness for pronouncing Gboyega Oyetola as the winner of last year’s governorship election, insisting that Ademola Adeleke will remain in office.
The tribunal premised its decision on over-voting in the election which took place in July 2022.
Adeleke was sworn-in on November 27, 2022, meaning he’s only been in office for three months before the tribunal booted him out.
Famously known as the ‘dancing politician’ for his sleek, urban dance moves, Adeleke who is an uncle of pop star Davido, has vowed to challenge the verdict of the tribunal at the appellate court.
