Tension In Lagos As Governorship Election Tribunal Delivers Judgment Today
There is tension among political gladiators as the Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal will today deliver judgment in the suits challenging the election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The Justice Arum Ashom-led panel communicated this message to all parties on Saturday.
CityNews Nigeria reports that the Labour Party’s governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, are challenging the victory of Sanwo-Olu at the March 18 governorship election.
On August 12, lawyers in the petitions adopted their final written addresses before the tribunal.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the March 18 governorship election.
