Finally justice has been done. Today, an appeal court sitting in Ibadan declared Rauf Aregbesola as the bonafide winner of the 2007 Osun State Gubernatorial Election.
While I rejoice at this news (because I'm hoping to get an appointment in the new cabinet), I'm also saddened because this is only a reflection of the rotten electoral system we run in this country.
My suggestion on this issue is that whenever such cases as this arise in the future, there should be a sort of punishment for the culprits... Like a jail sentence or something. Imagine a mandate-thief walking free after after 4 years of unlawful occupation of the Governor's office; making policies for the state and all that.
What do you think?

As the court has ascertained that the election was rigged, I think Oyinlola should be in jail by now.
