Appeal Court Begins Hearing Rhodes-Vivour, Jandor’s Case Against Sanwo-Olu

The Appeal Court sitting in Lagos has begun hearing the appeals filed by the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Olajide Adediran, and the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour against the declaration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the winner of the March 18 election.

Naija News reports that the judges began the proceedings at 3:06 pm.

The three-man panel told the court before reading their judgment that their decision was unanimous.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday, March 18, 2023, conducted an election for the Office of the Governor of Lagos State.

Dissatisfied, the LP and PDP challenged the decision.

In a unanimous decision, the three-man panel of justices on the Lagos State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on September 25 affirmed the victory of Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner, following which the petitioners approached the Appeal Court.
