Osun speaker: Gboyega Oyetola will be back as governor before July 5

Gboyega Oyetola, a previous governor of the state, will take office once again before July 5, 2023, according to Hon. Timothy Owoeye, Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, who made the announcement yesterday.

Owoeye firmly asserted that state people, particularly those connected to the APC, could relax since Oyetola will reclaim his mandate before July 5.

Owoeye pointed out that on July 5, 2019, the Supreme Court pronounced him (Oyetola) the victor of the governorship election held in September 2018. He forecast that the Supreme Court would resolve the ongoing controversy by July 5 and reinstate Oyetola.

Owoeye made this announcement when the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council was formally inaugurated at the Tinubu/Shettima campaign office opening in Osogbo.

He appealed to the populace to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, and other party members who are standing for state and federal officials.

The Speaker was certain that his party's candidates would succeed, nevertheless.

He said,  “You will recall that the Supreme Court declared Oyetola winner on July 5, 2019. The coming one will not be up to July 5, and Oyetola will be returned as governor.

“They think they can cheat us. You can see that they cannot appoint anything. We thank God for the BIVAS that revealed the secret.

“Tinubu is moving around the country and someone sitting in Adamawa or Anambra State is saying he wants to get power.”

Owoeye also put an end to rumours that certain APC lawmakers are defecting to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying, “None of the members of APC in the Assembly will go. No vacancy in the Assembly.”
