The appeal filed by the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour seeking to void the election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State was on Friday, January 12, thrown out by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The Supreme Court took the decision in its judgment, even as it declared that the appeal was unmeritorious.
In the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba held that the acquisition of the citizenship of the United States (US) by Deputy Governor, Femi Hamzat did not rob him of his Nigerian citizenship, being a citizen by birth.
The judge further held that Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat were qualified to contest the election.
