"It is just a waste of time waiting with bated breath to hear the judgment from the Lagos Gubernatorial Election Petitions Tribunal.
"There is nothing to anticipate. The challenge to Governor Sanwo-Olu's reelection will be rightly dismissed for lack of merit, and at least one of the parties (Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor) will appeal.
"There's going to be no surprise. GRV and Jandor lost freely, fairly and transparently to Sanwo-Olu. When they are credible, we must learn to accept the outcomes of our elections, or we must face ejections from the system."
Tribunal: Hamzat arrives court
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the deputy governor of Lagos state, Obafemi Hamzat, arrived at the courtroom for the final verdict of the Lagos State governorship election petition court.
Hamzat's arrival means Governor Sanwo-Olu, who, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), won the 2023 governorship election in Lagos state, might not be present for the final ruling.
