The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Lagos State on Monday dismissed the petitions filed by the Labour Party and reaffirmed the victory of Sanwo-Olu candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the duly-elected Governor in the March polls.

The Tribunal described the Labour Party (LP) petition as futile and a wasteful exercise, noting that the petitioners could not prove their allegations of mental incompetence against Sanwo-Olu.
