The Lagos State Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Ikeja on Wednesday upheld the victory of Mr Akinwunmi Ambode as the duly elected governor of Lagos State.
Mr Jimi Agbaje of the Opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had approached the temple of Justice challenging the declaration of Ambode, by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), as the winner of the April 11, 2015 governorship election in the state.
Governor Ambode had in the April 11 elections emerged victorious with a total of 811,994 votes over Agbaje who secured 659,788 votes.
The election petitions tribunal which was headed by Justice Ibrahim Sirajo, dismissed the application filed by Mr Jimi Agbaje on the grounds of incompetence.
