The Lagos Governorship Election Tribunal has struck out the petition filed by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and his party Labour Party (LP) as well as that of the Peoples Democra Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran.
The PDP candidate had challenged the election of Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the March 18 governorship elections in Lagos State.
This was made known by Justice Mikhail Abdullah while delivering judgment in the objections raised by respondents in the matter.
Chairman of the panel Justice Arum Ashom had announced that the court will first deliver judgment in the case of the PDP and its candidate before going to give its judgment in the petition of the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Justice Ashom also announced that his colleague on the bench, Justice Mikail Abdullahi will read the judgment on behalf of the panel.
