Recall that the tribunal on Monday affirmed that Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat were duly elected as the governor and deputy governor of the state in the March 18th election.
In affirming the Lagos governor’s victory, the court dismissed the petitions of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party (LP) and Olajide Adediran of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The tribunal held that the petitions against Sanwo-Olu’s victory lacked merit.
