As Ruling Party PDP and All progressive Party APC in Osun state Continued trading words ahead of Monday in which both parties will adopt their written addresses and submissions at Supreme Court, the supporters of the duo gladiators were in high spirit that they will get a favorable judgement .
The Apex Court had announce last week that the affected parties in the Osun State gubernatorial will be at Supreme court in Abuja to submit their written addresses during which judgement date would be announced at a later date
Our correspondent learnt that, the supporter of immediate past Governor Gboyega Oyetola had been organising prayers at various Mosque across the State asking Allah to give them favourable judgement at Apex Court and restored their mandate to them .
Similarly, the Ruling party PDP under the leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke also looking very optimistic that the Supreme court will affirmed the unanimous judgement of Court of Appeal who gave them victory believing same to happen at Supreme court.

They hang their belief that ,the love and acceptance of the party since Adeleke took over the mantle of leadership and his unprecedented performances in various infrastructures and payment of Workers and pensioners salaries, it is obvious that APC had been rejected and no need of their supporters to be optimistic .
The Osun APC in a statement by its acting Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal on Thursday had alleged that the PDP in Osun had perfected an arrangement to hire political hoodlums to besiege the Supreme Court.
The statement said, “The Osun APC reliably gathered that the state chapter of the PDP had perfected an arrangement to hire fifty 18-seater buses to convey political hoodlums to Abuja to besiege the Supreme Court to give a false impression of the acceptability and popularity of the embattled Governor Ademola Adeleke in the state.
“Information has it that material and financial logistics to aid the shady and obnoxious assignment have been deployed to those who are involved.
“It was also learnt that each of the local government chapters of the PDP in the state has also been tasked by the leadership of the party in the state to engage in show-of-strength protest across Osun while those in Abuja will be creating needless scenes of shame at the Supreme Court.”
Describing the leaked plan of the PDP as ridiculous, and undiplomatic, Osun APC enjoined the Osun Commissioner of Police and the heads of other security agencies in the state to quickly investigate the development, arrest and prosecute those planning to disrupt the socio-political peace in the state.
Reacting, the Osun PDP dismissed the APC’s claims describing them as hallucinations.
In a statement by the Osun PDP Chairman, Sunday Bisi, the party called on the APC to act responsibly by stopping deceit which it said accounted for its defeat in recent several elections in Osun State.
The PDP affirmed that it has faith in the integrity of the apex court, saying, “Osun state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has attributed recent lies and falsehood spewing from the state APC as a consequence of extreme hallucinations arising from the advanced stage of depression within the APC leadership.
“We have an unshaken belief that the Lord justices will reaffirm the foolproof judgement of the Court of Appeal. Osun people, Governor Adeleke and the PDP will laugh last and give all praises to our God of justice,” the statement concluded
Consequently, the former deputy spokesperson of the Progressives Congress (APC) Mr Timi Frank in a Statement appealed to the judicial to uphold integrity and truth in their judgement
He said the judicial is the last hope of common man and as such should should be firm in their decisions warning against applying technicalities in delivering judgement in cases especially electoral matters .
Meanwhile the Apex court is now set to give ruling by 2pm on Tuesday.
