Labour Party Nigeria received with Joy the landmark judgement by the
Appeal Court, in Ilorin Division which
nullified the election of Governor Segun
Onias the victory portends good over
evil, a victory that has brought back the
mandate of the people which was freely
given in 2007 and stolen by Oni through the
instrument of INEC headed by Prof. Maurice
Iwu.
The Judgement signifies a political tsunami
in Ekiti State, those of us in the
Labour Party family are very happy and
joyous over the victory. We have
passed through this journey before and
nobody can appreciate how sweet it is
other the labour party family.
We thank the Almighty God for restoring
Victory to Ekiti people and Dr. Fayemi
even though it has taken more than three (3)
years to retrieve the mandate. With
the Judgement of Justice Salami we salute
the judiciary for being courageous at
this time when men and women of honour and
integrity would
have preferred to remain silent.
For being bold in delivering this judgement,
Justice Salami has written his name in
Gold like retired Justice Okuntade of the
Supreme Court, this are men that
cannot be forgotten in Nigeria’s political
history. With this judgement, it is a
shame to Prof. Iwu’s led INEC, also a shame
to Mrs. Adebayo Ayoka the then
Resident Electoral Commissioner and all
those that collaborated in scattering
the peoples mandate during the 2007
election.The labour party and Nigerians will
never allow what transpired during the 2007
polls to happen again in 2011.
Those who believe in do or die affair should
forget it because in 2011 the votes
will count and it will be one man one vote.
We congratulate Dr. Fayemi for his
resilience. We advice he attends to the
numerous problems of governance in the state
which has been neglected in the past
three (3) years
