“There is an adage that says ‘if falsehood travels for twenty years, it takes the truth just a day to catch up with it.’ The truth has eventually emerged on the governorship election in Osun State.

“I urge the APC family in Osun State to remain steadfast until the last legal battle is won in the apex court. It is just a matter of time.”
