The Lagos State Governorship Election Tribunal says it would communicate a later date for judgement on the petition filed by the governorship candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour; and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olajide Adediran against the election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The Justice Arum Ashom-led panel gave this ruling after listening to the final written arguments of parties in the two petitions.
Rhodes-Vivour and Jandor are challenging the return of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as well as his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the March 18 governorship elections in Lagos State.
Counsel for INEC, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Charles Edosonwan, in the adoption of his final written address asked the Tribunal to dismiss Rhodes-Viviour’s petition for lack of evidence.
