Former Osun State High Court judge Justice Olamide Oloyede has expressed no regrets for writing a petition against Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his deputy, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori. Oloyede apologized to the governor and deputy for using inappropriate language in the petition, but defended her actions, stating she did not violate any constitutional section for discussing issues affecting the people of the state. She defended her actions in fidelity to her office and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, stating that the petition speaks for itself. Oloyede criticized those who believed the judiciary should only be seen and not heard, stating she did not belong to this class of people.
