The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, reserved judgments in an appeal lodged by the governorship candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and his PDP counterpart, Azeez Adediran, against the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Recall that Sanwo-Olu contested under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the governorship election held in March 2023.
Meanwhile, the appeals by Rhodes-Vivour and Adeniran are against the earlier judgments of the Court of Appeal in Lagos, which affirmed the two decisions of the election tribunal that struck out their petition, challenging Sanwo-Olu’s victory in the last governorship election.
A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, presided over by Justice John Okoro told parties that they would be informed when the judgments are ready.
The deputy governor, Femi Hamzat, Secretary to the State Government, Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin, and some other senior officials of the Lagos State Government witnessed the court session.
