Aregbesola
A former judge of the Osun State High Court, Justice Olamide Oloyede, has stated that she is not regretting writing a petition against Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his deputy, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori.
Oloyede, who was recently retired by the National Judicial Council said this while featuring on a radio programme, Frank Talk, aired by Rave in Osogbo on Monday.
The Jurist, however, tendered apology to the governor and the deputy for using some crude words in the petition but stressed that she was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that she did no wrong by writing the petition where she asked the members of the House of Assembly to impeach Aregbesola and Laoye-Tomori.
Oloyede said, “I have no regrets writing that petition, but I think in retrospect I have come to realise that perhaps, I did employ some words or language in respect of Mr. Governor and his deputy, which I ought not to have and so, today I am tendering an unreserved apology, public apology for the choice of certain words which I would not repeat.
“However, as far as the substance of that petition is concerned, I remain resolute and I am convinced that my actions were done in fidelity to my office and to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigerian, which I swore to uphold and out of love for my country.
“As we say in law, the fact speaks for itself and as I said earlier, the petition speaks for itself. I would rather not go over the content of the petition, which I believe is in the public’s possession. My reason for writing is clearly stated there. I am a person known for my own conviction and the only regret I have, I have said it, every other thing I said I meant it word for word.”
