Ex-PDP deputy national chairman Bode George reacts to Adeleke's victory at Osun tribunal

- PDP's former deputy national chairman, Chief Olabode George, has hailed Senator Ademola Adeleke's victory at Osun tribunal

- The PDP chieftain described the victory as the beginning of journey to the promised land for Nigeria

- Chief George also added that by the development, the Osun election panel has written its name in gold

The former deputy national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has described the victory of Senator Ademola Adeleke at Osun election tribunal as a ''journey to the Promised Land.''

Reacting to Adeleke's victory in an interview with Tribune, the PDP leader said the development is a signpost that ''the rule of law has come to stay.''

According to him, justice has prevailed. He further added that the judges who constituted the election panel have written their names in gold.

He said: ''The pronouncement by the respected tribunal has started the journey to the Promised Land. I thank God Almighty that truth has prevailed and those judges have shown that no matter how long, truth will prevail and they have allowed the will of the people to prevail.

''This is a new beginning; the rule of law has come to stay in Nigeria. I commend the people of Osun State for their patience. We thought people were despondent, people were angry but they were quiet and I said this is like a graveyard silence.

''This has confirmed that prayer is much stronger than physical power. It is going to be well with this nation.

''It is a lesson to this country. I remember the day they were messing up the election there; I kept talking to the people of Osun but look at it today, justice has prevailed and it is the day would be the turning point of democracy.

''The names of the justices who are on the panel would be written in gold because they didn’t do any under-table calculation.

''They were sincere, honest and truthful. They got all the figures and didn’t joggle with them. All those investors who had been running away from Nigeria thinking that all hell had broken loose, will now be reassured that when you take your matter to court, you will get justice.''

Asked if Adeleke victory offered any ray of hope to the bid by Atiku Abubakar to upturn the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the tribunal, George said PDP will not lose hope in its bid to wrestle power from the All Progressive Congress (APC).

He said: ''Now, it is almost the same as our own. We should not lose hope; we must never give up. We must continue to pray and when we see something that is not right, let us be bold enough to say this is not right.

''We are gradually getting our country back to the comity of civilised world. Nobody has the right to tamper with the judiciary; it is self-retaining. I didn’t believe that this would happen in my lifetime but because of my experience, I kept telling my people that there are still people who believe that they will appear one day before their creator to answer to their deeds.

''The thing about the judiciary is that if you don’t succeed, you keep fighting it all the way to the Supreme Court.

''Those justices in the Supreme Court are no longer just normal human beings by my own reckoning. There is no reason for them to be afraid.''
