Tribunal Dismisses Agbaje’s Petition Against Akinwunmi Ambode.

The Lagos State Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, on Wednesday dismissed the petition filed by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Jimi Agbaje, against Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Agbaje had petitioned the tribunal challenging the declaration of Ambode as the winner of the April 11, 2015 governorship election in the state.

But the three-man tribunal led by Justice Muhammad Sirajo Wednesday upheld the preliminary objection raised by Chief Wole Olanipekun that the petition was incompetent.
