The Lagos State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat on their victory at the tribunal court on Monday.
Theliberationnews reports that the Lagos Governorship Election Petitions dismissed the petitions of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party and Olajide Adediran aka Jandor of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) contesting the outcome of the March 18 governorship election.
The party, via a congratulatory message released by the spokesperson, Seye Oladejo on Monday, said the affirmation is a testament to the free choice made by the overwhelming majority of voters of their preference for developmental, progressive, passionate, responsive and responsible governance over needless and risky experiments.
The statement titled, ‘re-tribunal affirms Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat’s Victory’, read, “We wish to congratulate the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu and his deputy Dr. Babafemi Hamzat on the re-affirmation of their victory by the election petition tribunal.
“We also congratulate all Lagosians and most especially members of the All Progressives Congress who worked painstakingly during the elections. The affirmation is an eloquent testimony to the free choice made by the overwhelming majority of voters of their preference for developmental, progressive, passionate, responsive and responsible governance over needless and risky experiments.
“Our unshakable belief that the petitions of our opponents amounted to mere academic exercise by sore losers was undoubtedly upheld by the verdict.
“The Lagos APC wishes to assure all Lagosians through our various elected and appointed representatives of our age-long traditional service delivery in order to provide the desired dividends of democracy.
“May we now extend the olive branch to all and sundry, including our opponents to come on board in order to move our dear state forward.”
