Jandor, PDP reject tribunal ruling on Lagos governorship election petition

The People Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran aka Jandor, have rejected the ruling of the Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal delivered on Monday in the petition challenging the victory of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Mr Adediran and his counterpart from the Labour Party (LP) had challenged the victory of Mr Sanwo-Olu and his deputy Obafemi Hamzat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the governorship election in Lagos conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on 18 March.

The court upheld the return of Mr Sanwo-Olu as the duly elected governor of the state while dismissing Messrs Adediran and Rhodes-Vivour’s petitions.
