The Lagos State Governorship, National Assembly and State House of Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal has received 48 petitions from aggrieved parties
He asked that all votes cast for them in the election be declared wasted, and Adediran should be declared the winner.
But it is only the name of the Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour that was listed as the petitioner in his petition. The Labour Party was not listed as a co-petitioner.He is praying for the Tribunal to declare him the winner of the Governorship election because Sanwo-Olu is not qualified to contest the election.
The Labour Party candidate also maintained that Sanwo-Olu’s election was invalid because of corrupt practices or non-compliance with the provision of the Electoral Act 2022 and the 1999 Constitution. Rhodes-Vivour also argued that the governor was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.Also, the Allied Peoples Movement and Action People’s Party did not include their candidates, Funmilayo Kupoluyi and Abiola Adeyemi, in their petitions.They both argued in their separate Petitions that Sanwo-Olu and his deputy were not qualified to contest the election and that INEC failed to comply with the provisions of the Electoral Act and the 1999 Constitution.
