The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State said it had resolved to challenge the Appeal Court ruling that affirmed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as winner of March 18, 2023 governorship election in the Supreme Court.

Lagos State PDP Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), yesterday, in Lagos.

According to him, justice has not been properly served in the PDP’s governorship candidate, Dr. Olajide Adediran’s (Jandor) petitions against Sanwo-Olu’s re-election.

“We are challenging the ruling of the Appeal Court affirming Sanwo-Olu as winner at the Supreme Court. In a couple of days, our petitions will get to the apex court.

“In the Appeal Court’s rulings, there had been many inconsistencies on its stands on pre-election matters.

“We, as a party, feel justice is yet to be served in our petitions against the outcome of the election in this state.

“We have a strong belief in the Supreme Court to look at the crux of the matter and make a statement that will serve as precedent.”

“The party and our candidate are not deterred. We have reviewed the Appeal Court’s ruling and decided to pursue justice at the Supreme Court,” Amode further said.
