In a significant development at the Lagos Governorship Election Tribunal, the petition filed by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and the Labour Party (LP) has been dismissed, marking a separation from the case initiated by Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Jandor’s petition contested the results of the March 18 gubernatorial election in Lagos State, specifically challenging the victory of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.

Justice Mikhail Abdullah delivered this crucial decision while addressing the objections raised by the respondents in the case.

The panel’s Chairman, Justice Arum Ashom, disclosed that the court would first deliver a judgment in the PDP’s case and then proceed to provide a judgment in the petition lodged by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate. It was also noted that Justice Mikail Abdullahi, a fellow member of the bench, would be reading the judgment on behalf of the panel.
