The Executive Chairman, Itire-Ikate LCDA, Hon (Dr) Ahmed Olanrewaju Apatira, has described the verdict of the State Governorship Election Petitions tribunal as comforting and an affirmation of the will of the people of Lagos state.
The State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on Monday, struck out the petitions by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and the Labour Party, and Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor of the People’s Democratic Party, against the victory of Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Dr. Obafemi Hamzat in the March 18 governorship.
While congratulating Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat on their victory at the tribunal, Dr. Apatira said Lagosians worked very hard for the victory of the party at the election, noting that today’s tribunal’s ruling, is comforting and an affirmation of the will of the good people of Lagos who filed out to cast their ballots for the APC as their party of choice.
“We ordinarily thought that the top challengers would have displayed good spirit of sportsmanship by congratulating the winner but they chose to contest the election results, which is within their rights. Now that the election and the results have been upheld by the Court, I hope they would do the needful.
“I congratulate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu on his well deserved victory at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court.
On behalf of the good people of Itire-Ikate LCDA, I also congratulate the leadership and members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, and all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora on this very landmark judicial victory.”
