Ado-Doguwa says APC would challenge Adeleke in court
He also stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress will challenge the eligibility of the PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke, and another unnamed candidate and party.
Adeleke had defeated the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the APC.
While Ado-Doguwa kept repeating his statement, the Speaker said:
“Leader of the House, you lose some, you win some; don’t take defeat so personally.”
On Friday, July 22, the lawmaker forwarded a video showing the drama to The Punch, followed by a message in which he insisted that he would not congratulate the PDP.
Ado-Doguwa said:
“My attention has drawn to a video going viral with my voice saying no to the PDP’s victory in the last Osun State gubernatorial election.
"Although it could be seen as our usual jokes on the floor but I am constrained to say yes, I meant what I said. After all, I am entitled to my opinion. Details of my personal reasons will follow and I want it covered."
