Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has reacted to the judgement of the Osun State election petition tribunal declaring Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, winner of the September 27, 2018 governorship election in the state.
The tribunal had on Friday declared that the September 27 rerun election in the state was illegal.
The three-man panel of the tribunal gave the judgement following the petition filed by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ademola Adeleka against the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its candidate, Gboyega Oyetola.
The tribunal also ruled that PDP and Adeleke proved that it was the state Returning Officer, who cancelled results in seven polling units, adding that the petitioners also proved that the Returning Officer has no power to cancel election results of a polling unit.
The Tribunal then resolved to deduct 2,029 votes from the APC score and 1,246 from the votes of the PDP in the 17 polling units where there was non compliance.
Reacting to the ruling, Omokri congratulated Adeleke and PDP for the victory, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari will be the next to be sacked by a tribunal.
He wrote on Twitter: Congratulations Senator Ademola @IsiakaAdeleke1. Congratulations @OfficialPDPNig.
“Dear President @Mbuhari, you are next. #BuhariIsNextAfterOyetola”.
