A five-member panel led by Justice John Okoro reserved it after hearing the appeals of the Lagos state governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-favour, and the People’s democratic party candidate, Mr Azeez Adediran.

Back in November, the Court of Appeal in Lagos affirmed the judgment of the tribunal, confirming the return of Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat as the Governor and Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

Sanwo-Olu had polled 762,134 votes to defeat his close challenger, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party (LP), who scored 312,329 votes. Abdulazeez Adediran, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), came a distant third with 62,449 votes.

Not satisfied, the LP and PDP candidates approached the Lagos State Election Petitions Tribunal to nullify Sanwo-Olu’s victory.
