In a recent development, the Lagos State Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) against the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Lagos State Governorship election.

The tribunal held that the petitioners, PDP and LP, failed to substantiate their claims of irregularities and other electoral infractions. With this ruling, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the APC has been declared the valid winner of the election.

The tribunal’s ruling is a major victory for the APC and Governor Sanwo-Olu. The tribunal's decision also serves as a validation of the electoral process in Lagos State.

This is an important outcome, as Lagos State is one of Nigeria's most populous states, and the election process there is often highly scrutinized.

With the tribunal's decision, there is now greater certainty around the outcome of the Lagos State Governorship election, and the APC can continue to govern the state with a clear mandate.
