The Appeal Court sitting in Lagos has dismissed the appeal of the the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate Mr. Olajide Adediran, challenging the victory of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The three-man panel unanimously affirmed the decision of the Lagos State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which on September 25 affirmed the victory of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
It held that the appellants failed to prove their allegations of forgery and non-qualification against Sanwo-Olu and his deputy Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.
“Even though they were all pre-election matters, the appellants (PDP and Adeniran) still failed to prove them,” the justices held.
“The appellants came empty-handed and left empty-handed. They merely enjoyed their day in court.
“Their petition is dismissed,” the justices added.
