In a historic verdict, the Supreme Court has affirmed Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the duly elected governor of Lagos State, dismissing the appeal of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour from the Labour Party.
The unanimous decision emphasized that the acquisition of US citizenship does not disqualify a candidate from running for governor, asserting that Nigerian citizenship by birth is the key qualification.
The Apex Court’s ruling marks a decisive end to the Labour Party’s attempt to challenge the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Lagos State Governorship Election.
