The Governor, whose position would have been usurped by judicial conspiracy of the Tribunal Court Judges, berated the electoral laws of Nigeria for its weakness in the screening of political candidates, which gave room for somebody like Ademola Adeleke.
The State of Osun Governor gave this lamentation Monday while playing host to the leadership of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, led by Professor Yemi Farounbi, who paid him a solidarity visit in his office.
"Sometimes when I sat down and realized that I was actually contesting with Adeleke, who is best at dancing, I felt ridiculed, very ridiculed", the Governor lamented.
He stated further: "It would have been a tragedy for our state, if the whole thing had turned the other way round.
"Anybody that is seriously concerned about the development of the state, would at least be interested in whoever is going to pilot the affairs of the state".
Speaking further on the shortcomings of our electoral system, the Governor added: "One wonders why it would have allowed that guy to even contest in the first instance. We don't have control.
"Even in the North, where we believe they're disadvantaged in terms of education, they put in the best always.
"See whoever goes for any political office in the North, is always the best of their stuck.
Reacting to the visit, Mr. Oyetola re-emphasized his all-inclusive policy and friendly style of governance, assuring the SDP stalwarts that his victory belonged to them.
He said: "I thank you most sincerely for the solidarity, and I congratulate all of us for the victory.
"The victory actually is for all of us, not necessarily for me", the Governor added.
