The party says the judge ''has strong connections with the APC, which is an interested party in the appeal.''
The Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the inclusion of a former judge in the Lagos State high court, J.O Oyewole, in the Osun State Governorship Election Appeal Tribunal.
The tribunal for the September 2018 governorship election in Osun State declared Ademola Adeleke winner of the election in its March 22 ruling. The Independent National Electoral Commission initially declared the sitting governor, Gboyega Oyetola, as the winner of the election. “When the seat of the Chief Judge of Osun State became vacant, some years back, upon the retirement of Hon. Justice G.O Ojo, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu insisted on having his anointed candidate, Hon Justice J.O.K Oyewole, on the Judiciary of Osun State at all cost.
“It is, therefore, a fact known to us and members of the public that Hon. Justice Oyewole has a strong connection with the APC and its leader, Senator Ahmed Tinubu. As such he should not sit as a panel member for a governorship election dispute between the PDP and the APC.”
