Appeal Court Upholds Sanwo-Olu’s Election Victory

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has affirmed the judgment of the tribunal, confirming the return of Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat as the Governor and Deputy Governor of Lagos state.

In a unanimous decision by the three-man panel, the court dismissed the appeal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for lack of merit.

The judgement was delivered by Justice Yargata Nimpa, Justice Samuel Bola and Justice Paul Bassey.

The court ruled that “Even though they were all pre-election matters, the appellants (PDP and Adeniran) still failed to prove them. The appellants came empty-handed and left empty-handed. They merely enjoyed their day in court. Their petition is dismissed.”
