Senator Ademola Adeleke has reacted to his exoneration by the Supreme Court on a case of forgery.
The Supreme Court cleared Senator Adeleke of all charges of certificate forgery. Reacting to the verdict of Nigeria’s apex court, Senator Adeleke said the ruling was a final vindication of smear campaigns against him.
According to the Senator, being exonerating and cleared of all charges is a final vindication from months of tortuous persecution, blackmail and smear campaigns.
A statement made and signed by Mr Rasheed Olawale, spokesman of Adeleke Campaign Organisation, on Thursday, July 25, indicated that “Adeleke has been receiving several messages of felicitations from well wishers from within and outside Osun state.”
The apex court had dismissed the appeal filed by the appellants against the Court of Appeal judgement that ruled in Adeleke’s favour establishing the fact that he did not forge any certificate nor did he make any false declarations
Senator Adeleke said: “From the beginning of the case at Bwari High Court, Abuja, I had consistently told the public that the trial and jaundiced judgement of the Bwari court was a political witchhunt and an orchestrated campaign of calumny designed to stop my governorship aspiration.“The Court of Appeal had restored equity and justice when it robustly nullified the lower court’s ruling and affirmed that I never forged any certificate as mischievously alleged by the APC and their PDP accomplices and erroneously concluded by the Bwari court judge despite glaring evidence and testimonies of WAEC and the principal of my Alma mata. “The Appeal Court judgement directly indicted the lower court for ignoring two basic authorities that can confirm or disown school records.The school principal and a deputy director from the West African Examination Council testified with sworn affidavits confirming my educational filing and debunking allegation of certificate forgery.“My detractors were not satisfied with the exoneration and proceeded on their witch-hunt to the apex court. I thank God and the judiciary for at least doing justice on this open case of false accusation,” Senator Adeleke said.
