Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos state, AbdulAzeez Olajide Adediran popularly known as Jandor, has filed his notice of appeal challenging the September 25 judgment of the state election petition tribunal.
In the grounds of appeal, Jandor said that “Contrary to the misleading conclusion of the tribunal, the issue of disqualification of the winner of an election is both a pre and post-election dispute and that it was highly erroneous of the tribunal to treat it as merely a pre-election issue”. He noted that the law acknowledges that everyone against whom an allegation is made, must be made a party in such an action.
Among other reliefs, he wants the Court of Appeal to hold that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hold that the different names in the different certificates presented by Sanwo-Olu belong to one and the same person.
