Following the Court of Appeal’s decision affirming the victory of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat in the March 18 governorship election, the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended its congratulations.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Thursday, Cornelius Ojelabi, the Lagos State APC Chairman, expressed gratitude to the judiciary for the verdict. The Court of Appeal in Lagos rejected the challenges presented by the PDP candidate, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran, and the Labour Party Candidate, Mr. Gbadebo Rhode-Vivour, overturning the decisions of the election tribunal.<\/p>\n
Before now, the election tribunal had dismissed Adediran and Rhode-Vivour\u2019s petition against Sanwo-Olu\u2019s victory on Sept. 25.<\/p>\n
Ojelabi emphasized that the ruling of the appellate court serves as validation of the trust placed in the government of Sanwo-Olu and his team by the residents of Lagos.<\/p>\n
He expressed the joy of all party leaders and members regarding the decision of the appellate court and stated, \u201cI believe that the pronouncement of the court is a testament to the confidence that Lagos residents have in our party.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
