The Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal will deliver judgment for Lagos State on Monday, September 25, 2023.

This was made known via a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, September 23, 2023, by the governorship flag bearer for the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

Rhodes-Vivour said, he has been informed that the judgment of the election petition at the tribunal will be delivered on Monday.

He posted, “We have just been informed that judgement on our election petition at the tribunal will be delivered on Monday, the 25th of September.”

The Peoples Democratic Party Candidate, Mr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, known as Jandor, and the Labour Party candidate, Rhodes-Vivour, separately asked the tribunal to nullify Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s re-election and declare them the winners on April 11, 2023.

But subsequently, the tribunal dismissed the petitions filed by the Allied Peoples’ Movement and the Action Peoples Party against the victory of Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, in the March 18 governorship election on Wednesday, May 24, 2022.

Sanwo-Olu polled 762,134 votes to defeat his closest rival, Rhodes-Vivour, who polled 312,329.

The candidate of the PDP, Adediran, came third with 62,449 votes while the candidate of APM, Funmilayo Kupoluyi, polled 884 and the candidate of APP, Abiola Adeyemi, garnered 259 votes.

The petitions of the APM and APP were dismissed by the Chairman of the three-man Tribunal, Justice Arum Ashom, after the petitioners withdrew them.
