The Osun state Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has faulted the statement of the Court of Appeal on Osun Governorship Election Tribunal,describing it as “an attempt to trivialise shady interference.
“We read the statement from the Court of Appeal and we affirm straight away that judges in the panel have been removed and sitting of the tribunal delayed.In effect,the panel was disbanded and a new one is yet to be out in place.
“What is the meaning of ‘Judges on the panel are been rotated?’ Are the original judges not removed ? If they are removed ,is the panel not automatically disbanded pending constitution of another one ? And why are the judges removed a day after PDP filed her petition.
“We submit that the excuse from the Appeal court does not add up.An open plot to tamper with judicial proceeding has been initiated and we call on relevant authorities to stop this reprehensible plot for justice and fairplay. We will not accept any attempt to deny us fair hearing either through delay tactics or influenced breaching of procedures,laws and the constitution.
Signed
Hon Soji Adagunodo,
PDP State Chairman
