BAT Lawyers Congratulate Gov. Oyetola Over Tribunal Verdict

A group of lawyers mobilising and campaigning for the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu candidacy in the February 25th presidential election, also known as BAT Lawyers on Sunday congratulated the former governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, for his victory at the Election Petition Tribunal which declared him the rightful winner of the July 16, 2022 governorship poll.

This online medium recalls that Justice Tetsea Kume who presided over the election tribunal sitting in Friday declared Oyetola the winner of the poll, noting that the exercise witnessed instances of over-voting.

Reacting to the ruling, the BAT lawyers in a statement signed by its State Coordinator, Barrister Olumide Odutola, noted that the tribunal’s judgement has come to stay and is deeply rooted in law.

According to him, “We heartily rejoice with Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola on his much deserved victory at the election tribunal today. It is the victory of light over darkness. A triumph of perseverance, courage and justice over electoral fraud and democratic perversion.

“We are confidence that the truth will always prevail, having been convinced that the governor did well for the people of the state. As such, it prompted to believe that at every given opportunity, Oyetola is coming back.

“While also congratulating him and people in Osun, we urge our people to be very vigilant. The security agencies must also be at alert to prevent sore losers from taking the laws into their hands.

“We want to use this occasion to charge our people to understand that the presidential election is very important to us and we want you to begin to mobilize our people to vote massively for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima and all other national assembly candidates.”
