LAGOS GUBERNATORIAL: Date Set For The Court To Rule On Sanwo-Olu's Triumph

The Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has set a deadline for issuing a ruling on petitions submitted to it following the 2023 election.

The verdict will be announced on September 25th, a Monday.

This information was revealed on Saturday by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party's candidate for governor.

Rhodes-Vivour claimed in a post on X that he has been informed that the decision will be made on Monday.

He wrote, "We have just been informed that judgement on our election petition at the tribunal will be delivered on Monday, the 25th of September."

Rhodes-Vivour and Abdul-Azeez Adediran, the Peoples Democratic Party's nominee, each submitted a separate petition to the tribunal.

The two parties are requesting that the tribunal invalidate the reelection of All Progressives Congress (APC) governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, citing electoral fraud among other allegations.

Each of them desires to be named the election's victor.
