The apex court affirmed Sanwo-Olu’s election on Friday, January 12, 2024.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The apex court dismissed the appeal of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP) for lacking in merit.
In his petition, Rhodes-Vivour had claimed that Sanwo-Olu’s deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, had renounced his citizenship as a Nigerian.
However, the court held that Hamzat is a Nigerian by birth.
