Adeleke has assured his supporters that the judgement would be appealed.

Mixed reactions trail Tribunal governorship verdict as court sacked Ademola Adeleke as Osun State Governor.

On Friday, January 27, 2023, the court sacked Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of the state.

The court also asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Adeleke and recognise Gboyega Oyetola as the real winner of the 2022 governorship election.

Expectedly, the verdict set the tone for political conversations on Twitter as Nigerians expressed their views on the judgment.
