The Director General Asiwaju Grassroots Initiatives movement ( AGIM GROUP OF NIGERIA) Hon. comrade Gbenga Ogundare , congratulated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Friday’s judgment of the Supreme Court which affirmed him as the winner of the 2023 governorship election in Lagos.

The Supreme Court earlier on Friday affirmed the election of Sanwo-Olu, which was earlier upheld by the tribunal and Appeal Court in the state.

The court, therefore, dismissed the appeal by the Labour Party candidate for lacking in merit.

The Labour Party candidate in the election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, had in his appeal claimed that Sanwo-Olu’s running mate, Obafemi Hamzat, had renounced his citizenship as a Nigerian.

The apex court held that Sanwo-Olu’s deputy is a Nigerian by birth, noting that renunciation of citizenship of a citizen by birth must be registered by the Nigerian President, adding that the appellant did not provide any evidence to that effect.
