Lagos Governorship Tribunal Refuses To Consolidate Labour Party, PDP Petitions Against Governor Sanwo-OluThe tribunal, presided over by Justice Arum Ashom also dismissed another application filed by R
hodes-Vivour seeking leave to call additional witnesses on the ground that the stipulated time by law for petitioners to amend their petitions had elapsed.An application filed by the Labour Party’s governorship candidate in the March 18 election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, seeking the consolidation of his petition with that of the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Olajide Adediran has been denied by Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
The judges who further held that the grounds and the reliefs sought by the petitioners are different, also affirmed that the application seeking leave to call additional witnesses was lacking in merit because the names of the other witnesses were not contained in the list of original witnesses filed along with the petition.
Rhodes-Vivour had, through his lawyer, Olagbade Benson, urged the tribunal to consolidate the petitions because they emanated from the same election.
