The apex court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeal Lagos, dismissing the appeal of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party against Governor Sanwo-Olu for lacking in merit.
Justice Garba Lawal prepared and read the lead judgment in the Lagos State governorship dispute.
Other justices, who made up the panel for Lagos- Justices Inyang Okoro, Emmanuel Agim, uwani Abba-aji, Adamu Jauro are reading their version. It’s a unanimous decision.
They say the petition is a gross abuse of court process.
The apex court is moving next to the case of the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran against Governor Sanwo-Olu.
