The Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has granted an ex parte application by Labour Party’s governorship candidate, Gbadegbo Rhodes-Vivour, for a substituted service on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Mr. Rhodes-Vivour and Labour Party, through their counsel, Olagbade Benson, had informed the tribunal that Mr. Sanwo-Olu evaded service of the petition on him by the court’s bailiff.
They alleged that Mr. Sanwo-Olu refused to collect the document from the bailiff when the court official got to his office to serve him.
