The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved judgment in the appeals by the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party challenging the victory of the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The apex court adjourned the matter for judgment after counsel in the matter adopted their briefs.
Recall that sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress defeated the candidates of the LP, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and PDP’s Azeez Adediran, to win the governorship election.
Challenging the decision at the Court of Appeal, Adediran and Rhodes-Vivour filed grounds of appeal, which were eventually dismissed.
The two candidates appealed against the appellate court’s judgment and asked the apex court to vacate the order.

“He did not submit the certificate yet they brought two copies of the said WAEC certificates and alleged forgery. They are claiming a certificate not submitted is forged.”
