JUST IN: Supreme Court reserves judgments in PDP, Rhodes-Vivour cases against Sanwo-Olu
The Supreme Court on Tuesday, December 19, reserved judgments in two appeals filed by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Azeez Adediran against the election of Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The appeals by Rhodes-Vivour and Adeniran are against the earlier judgments of the Court of Appeal in Lagos, which affirmed the two decisions of the election tribunal which dismissed their petiton, challenging Sanwo-Olu’s victory in the last governorship election.
A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, presided over by Justice John Okoro told parties that they would be informed when the judgments are ready.
The deputy governor, Femi Hamzat, Secretary to the State Government, Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin and some other senior officials of the Lagos State Government witnessed the court session.
