Labour Party celebrates as tribunal upholds Lagos candidates election

Members of the Labour Party (LP) in Lagos state are in a celebration mood following the victories of members representing Oshodi-Isolo II and Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituencies, Okey-Joe Onuakalusi and Wande George, at the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, the state capital.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Mrs Olubunmi Odesanya, said the tribunal’s judgement affirms LP's belief that the judiciary could still dispense justice without fear or favour, Vanguard reported.

Odesanya made this known in a statement issued on Tuesday evening, September 5.

“It is our strong belief that our Nation, Nigeria, can still be salvaged with the right people in the right institutions. We at the Labour Party commend the Tribunal judges for dispensing this fair and truthful judgement."

The Labour Party chieftain urged the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) to follow in the footsteps of what the judges in Lagos did.

The party urged the judges at the PEPT to toe the line of their colleagues in Lagos as they set to deliver judgment on Wednesday, September 6th, 2023.
