A former deputy publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank says some terrible politicians are hell bent to compromise the supreme court which will hear Oyetola’s appeal.
WesternLifeNewsNG recalls a three-member panel of the appeal court held that the election tribunal erred by declaring that the former governor, Gboyega Oyetola as the winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun state.
Mr Frank in a statement on Thursday, however revealed that there some clandestine plan by some elements to ensure that the apex court overturn the unanimous decision of the appelate court.
According to him, “These same elements who have been operating without fear for consequences have once again arisen to compromise the integrity of the judiciary by vowing to overturn the decision of the court of appeal, by any means necessary in relation to the Osun state supreme court decision,” he said.
“The supreme court must be put on notice that Nigerians are very interested in the outcomes of judgment decisions from the supreme court and will continue to beam its searchlights on the discreet activities of the judges.
The PDP chieftain added that the matter before the Supreme court justices is clearly a litmus test for them, calling on them to stand by truth without fear or favour.
“The supreme court must be reminded that the Osun state matter will be the first litmus test for the justices of the supreme court. The facts of the matter are very clear, with the CA putting to rest the issues of overvoting and any other discrepancies.
“Therefore the minimum expectation for the SC is to stand by the truth and avoid any semblance of intimidation and coercion.
“The right thing must be done, as it is clear that the Osun people are extremely pleased with the choice of their governor and are elated with his performance since his inception into office.”
