The Osun state Senator Ademola Adeleke, has been handed seven days to produce his secondary school certificate by Osun State High Court on Thursday
Messrs Rasheed Olabayo and Oluwaseun Idowu had prayed the court to disqualify Adeleke for not possessing a school certificate, as required by Section 177 (d) of the 1999 Constitution.
They also asked the court to set aside the July 21 primary that produced Adeleke as the party’s governorship candidate.
In his ruling yesterday on the ex-parte application, Justice David Oladimeji,
advised Adeleke to present his secondary school certificate before the court on Aug. 1.
Oladimeji held that the ex-parte injunction has only seven days lifespan, adding there are still windows left open till August 8, according to the affidavits sworn to by the applicants.
“It will be inequitable not to allow the respondent to come and show his certificate, if he has any. But if given the opportunity to present his side of the case, the balance, which is necessary for interlocutory injunction, would be adequately considered.”
Justice Oladimeji adjourned the motion on notice till August 1 for hearing.
Also, Adeleke has accused those he called “fifth columnists” for his travail.
Addressing reporters in Abuja on Thursday, his Director of Media and Publicity, Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, said fifth columnists were playing out an alleged “destructive? script of their paymaster” against the PDP.
