In a decisive ruling, the Court of Appeal in Lagos has dismissed the lawsuit filed by Abdulazeez Adediran, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), against the election of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The three-member panel, led by Yargata Nimpar, delivered a unanimous decision on Wednesday, rejecting the grounds of appeal raised by Adediran, popularly known as Jandor. The panel upheld the earlier judgment of the tribunal that affirmed the victory of Sanwo-Olu as the duly elected governor of Lagos in the March 11 election.
This legal development marks a significant milestone in the resolution of the election dispute, providing clarity and confirmation of Sanwo-Olu’s electoral triumph. The Court of Appeal’s decision reinforces the legitimacy of the electoral process and affirms the outcome of the governorship election in Lagos.
