The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State, Dr. Abdulazeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has filed an appeal to challenge the judgment of the state Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the re-election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
He filed the appeal together with his party, PDP. before the state’s division of the Court of Appeal.
A copy of the appeal was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday.
Adediran said in the 34-ground appeal dated October 13, that it was to express his dissatisfaction with the verdict of the tribunal.
He claimed that miscarriage of laws characterised the judgment and prayed the court to set aside the judgment.
He said that the tribunal erred in law and reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed his petition challenging the qualification of Sanwo-Olu for the March 18 governorship election.
He said that his petition was premised on the provision of Sections 177(c) and 182(1)(j) of the 1999 constitution.
“By this action, I reaffirm my commitment to birth a breath of fresh air in governance in Lagos State by ensuring that the provisions of the constitution and the electoral laws as regards the election of a truly qualified governor are upheld,” he said.
