Breaking News: Police Report Is Insignificant – Senior Lawyer Tells Oyinlola
Apr 29th, 2010 | By Bankole Alao David | Category: Front Page Story
Embattled Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State is not in the best of moods and the reason could not be divorced from the honest appraisal of the plausible outcome of the election petition retrial tribunal which has just been rounded off for judgment soonest by a senior lawyer he consulted outside his legal team abroad recently.
It was learnt that the retired Army General turned-politician decided to know what could be the true picture of the situation when he was getting conflicting reports about the proceedings of the tribunal from the media.
Investigation revealed that the governor had consulted a senior lawyer who is very close to him to give him the worst case scenario and the lawyer bluntly told the governor that he has a very bad case.
It was learnt authoritatively that the governor could not swallow the home truth pill given to him by his lawyer friend, as that moment seemed to have changed his countenance before he reluctantly returned from one of his foreign trips where the conversations were held.
Findings revealed that in the course of the conversations, Oyinlola demanded from his friend what damage the police report that he said had been found out to be fake could do to the petitioner who doubles as Action Congress (AC) governorship candidate, Rauf Aregbesola, but his friend asked whether the police report was pronounced fake by the court of law; to which the governor said no.
In the course of his argument that he found out in the process and that the police authority has taken the petitioner who used the police report at the first tribunal to court on the matter; Oyinlola’s friend was said to have told him that the police report was a none issue to the retrial tribunal because the retrial tribunal has no knowledge of it.
It was gathered that the governor, obviously jittery, then tried to convince his friend that there was so much noise over the police report which ought to have reached the judges and tailor their opinion that the petitioner has no case; insisting that the police report was the nucleus of the evidence that mandated the Court of Appeal to return the case to the retrial tribunal. But the senior lawyer was very blunt to him again; saying that the police report could not have been the nucleus of any election matter.
It was learnt that the governor then told his friend that the worst the tribunal could deliver was rerun of the governorship election, but his friend finally punctured his argument, reiterating that the way the governor prosecuted his defence at the tribunal was not promising and could not guarantee his better chance at the tribunal.
Checks have shown that the governor quickly developed cold in his spine and was not in the best mood when he returned home from his trip to attend the South-West PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Osogbo, Osun State capital.
On getting home, the governor got angry with the system the more when he realized that the conduit pipe he had laid for making money for his self struggle via bank facility for what he called priority projects had been scandalized by the media.
It was learnt that the governor then reportedly made up his mind that he would not be deterred by the opposition this time from obtaining the N18.3 billion loan.
It would be recalled that the governor could not contain his anger during a world press conference he called to explain his take on the issue, as he nearly physically descended on some journalists that asked him questions about the loan despite the fact that the drama was being relayed on state media live.

Lilo ni kehin boi; lilo ni Oyinlola yio lo. PDP is a goner; Oyin n regbogbale losan gan, oju n ti awon elegbe re.
It was clear dat dey are going home
Lagbara eledumare Oyinlola yio lo ninu Osu Karun Odun yii.Live or dealth.He must go by God,s grace.
The prince has just started his journey to insanity. How can you call a press conference and fail to refrain from the worst of provocation if only to save your face. He may run from pillar to post, but he surely has murdered sleep and may not find rest in sleep any more
I wonder the type of people that read osun defender. They are soo illiterate, ignorant and fiolish that they swallow hook and line whatever rubbish you ‘cook’ through this junk paper. babametto is the greatest fool of them all.
oyinlola is a visionless governor, he has loose focus since 2007 and the blood of innocent been kill by him is trouble him. Aregbesola be prepared to sanities osun state. osun is your fathers land by God grace you will occupy your seat as excellency in the next few month.
Oyinlola should be angry to his lawyers at home who refuse to tell him the true situation of things and not the masses that voted against him in April 2007.He should be angry with Omotara,Farounbi and others who confirmed at the tribunal that they all voted many times.
Ayobade u are d most foolish person in osun,no other means 2 get true information than osundefender.radio osun has now become a propaganda radio.
That guy is also an agent of reationaries, there are many of them like that that had been shortsighted by the PDP and oyinlola’s campaign of calumny. They shall surely be put to shame by God’s grace.
Ayobade u are d most foolish person in osun,no other means 2 get true information than osundefender.radio osun has now become a propaganda radio.
Ayobade u r d most superior foolish in osun, n i wil lyk 2 inform u dat u r going 2 b fire by unknwn witches
Heee sorry Lagun but you have tried ,finishing a pot of poridge that was never yours!Haba,do not give yourself sleepless nights but if I were you,I will be packing my loads gradually because be sure to know that you had got a bad case and nothing under the sun can change it other way round! But try to to desist from securing that heinous loan, that may be the last wrong Osun people will never forgive you just like annulment of june 12 ,that makes IBB seemingly unforgivable! I pray you will not hearken unto this so that ,you could end up in cage like ………
