Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has congratulated Gboyega Oyetola on his victory at the election petitions tribunal, declaring it as victory of light over darkness.
A three-man election tribunal chaired by Justice Tertsea Kume on Friday in Osogbo ruled that Oyetola is the duly elected governor of Osun.
Kume, in his ruling, said there was over-voting in six local government areas of the state, adding that Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 while Adeleke got 219,666 votes.
Tinubu, however, said in a message signed by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, that Oyetola’s victory was deserved, noting also that it is a triumph of courage and perseverance.
“I heartily rejoice with Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola on his much-deserved victory at the election tribunal today,” he said.

“It is the victory of light over darkness, a triumph of perseverance, courage and justice over electoral fraud and democratic perversion.
“The forces of darkness plotted to extinguish the able leadership and progressive good governance that improved the quality of life of our people under your leadership.
“But today, the tribunal delivered justice and restored the mandate freely given to you and our great party.”
Tinubu expressed confidence that the good work Oyetola championed that was momentarily paused would soon resume and Osun people would be happy again.
“And together we can renew their hope of a shared prosperity,” he added.
