Lagos state, Ikeja - The Lagos State Governorship Election Petition described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Olajide Adediran, known as Jandor, as a “busybody”.
As reported by Daily Trust, Jandor had filed a petition at the tribunal challenging the victory of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He alleged that Sanwo-Olu was improperly nominated by the APC and, hence, was not qualified to contest the March 18 governorship election.
Pre-election matters and internal party affairs
In its ruling on Monday, September 25, Justice Mikail Abdullahi held that the tribunal could not decide on that because the petition did not fall under the provisions of sections 177 and 182 of the Nigerian Constitution (as amended).

Justice Abdullahi ruled that the APC primary election which produced Sanwo-Olu was a pre-election matter and did not fall under its jurisdiction.
“Only an aspirant or member of a political party can complain about the outcome of the party’s primary, not a busybody like the petitioner.”
