The Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State, has annulled the Labour Party (LP) Lawmaker, Thaddeus Attah’s victory as Representative of the Eti Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State.

The court ordered INEC to conduct a supplementary election in the 32 polling units of Eti-Osa within 90 days.

INEC has also been ordered to withdraw the return certificate issued to Attah and conduct elections in areas where the election wasn’t held on February 25.

To confirm the news the APC candidate, Ibrahim Obanikoro, wrote on his Instagram story that, “The Feb 25 election has just been rightly declared inconclusive and supplementary elections have been ordered by the court. INEC has been ordered to withdraw the return certificate and conduct elections in areas where it didn’t hold on Election Day.”

His colleague from the PDP, Olubankole Wellington also wrote on his Twitter page, “It is possible. Still.”

Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in the February 25, 2023 Presidential election on Tuesday attended the hearing at the Presidential Election Petition Court PEPC.

He was there to listen as his lawyers adopted their final written address before the Tribunal.
