Adeleke dismisses judgement deregistering Accord, other parties, hails court victory in LG disputes
Governor Adeleke is not staying quiet. After a court ruling moved to deregister Accord and several other political parties, the Osun State governor came out swinging, calling the judgement an abuse of court process and a direct threat to the integrity of Nigeria's electoral system.
His pushback comes at the same time he is celebrating a separate court victory tied to local government disputes in the state. The two rulings, pulling in opposite directions, have put Adeleke at the center of a busy legal week in Osun State politics.
Whether the deregistration judgement holds or faces further challenge in the courts remains the real question worth watching.
