How Supreme Court affirmed Sanwo-Olu's victory
On Friday, January 12, the Supreme Court upheld Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's victory in the March 2023 Lagos State gubernatorial election.
The court unanimously dismissed appeals from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party, along with their respective candidates, Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor) and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
The central argument of both appeals was the alleged invalidation of Sanwo-Olu's candidacy due to his running mate, Obafemi Hamzat, holding dual citizenship (Nigeria and the United States).
However, the court, led by Justice Lawal Garba, ruled that, according to section 177 of the Nigerian constitution, a citizen by birth aged 35 or older with a school certificate is qualified to run for the governor's office in Nigeria.
Sanwo-Olu hails Supreme Court verdict
Sanwo-Olu expressed gratitude for the Supreme Court's decision, affirming his win in the March 18 gubernatorial election.
Following the verdict, the governor released a statement via his media aide, Gboyega Akosile.
He said:
“The verdict of the Supreme Court revalidated the position of Lagosians who freely cast their ballots on March 18, 2023.”
The governor states that the recent legal triumph will inspire his administration to persist in the path of advancement initiated in 2019, leading to numerous accomplishments in various aspects of people's lives.
Obasa congratulates Sanwo-Olu
Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa congratulated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on the Supreme Court's affirmation of his victory in the 2023 gubernatorial election.
Dr Obasa emphasised that the court's decision reflects the strong support of Lagos residents for the APC.
