“Oyetola’s victory at the tribunal is a well deserved as it has pointed to the fact that no matter how far lies have gone the truth shall one day conveniently overtake it. Oyetola is loved by the residents of Osun and that was why many were wondering about the results which was announced by the INEC. But we thank God for the truth eventually prevailed.
