Governor Adeleke Says Deregistration Ruling Violates Court of Appeal Order


● Calls for Calm
● Says Flag off of Campaign Holds Tomorrow

Governor Ademola Adeleke has described that judgement of the Federal High Court deregistering five political parties as an abuse of court process and direct violation of a subsisting order of the Court of Appeal.

In a statement issued in response to the ruling the governor said the Appeal Court had made an order for the stay of proceedings by the Federal High Court,  more particularly the said judgment that was delivered, expressing  surprise that the lower court still proceeded to deliver a ruling on a matter already acted upon  by the Court of Appeal.


It is on record before Honourable Justice Peter Lifu J that in the record of proceedings of the Court of Appeal of 22nd May, 2026 and which was put before his Lordship as Exhibit MAC 2 the Court of Appeal specifically pronounced that  "The delivery of the judgement is still part of the proceedings of the Court. "

The governor urges the people to be calm as the Court of Appeal is taking up the matter tomorrow Tuesday, assuring the public that this “efforts to stop Osun people from exercising their voting rights will fail by the specialgraceofAlmightyGod. The Rule of Law and Humanity shall prevail at the end of the day. 

“ I call on Osun people to remain calm and be assured that our rights will be affirmed and our party, the Accord will be on the ballot on August 15th. 

“We will not only be on the ballot, we will win overwhelmingly the forthcoming governorship election. We should remain calm and forge ahead with mobilisation of our people.

“I also want to assure our people that the flag off of our campaign is holding as scheduled tommorow. They want to distract us. We are going ahead and we are winning this election”, the state governor posited. 

"Our lawyers are taking all the necessary steps to right the wrong", the governor posited.

Signed:
Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor.
