The Lagos tribunal had upheld the duo’s elections as members representing Oshodi-Isolo II and Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituencies at the National Assembly Abuja, respectively.
Reacting, Lagos LP in a statement signed by
its Publicity Secretary, Olubunmi Odesanya, said the victories represent “steps to greater successes” for the party.
The party also admonished the Judges at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) in Abuja to toe the line of their colleagues in Lagos.
“This verdict affirms Labour Party belief that indeed our Judiciary can still dispense justice without fear or favour.
“It is our strong belief that our Nation, Nigeria, can still be salvaged with the right people in the right institutions of the State. We at Labour Party commend the Tribunal Judges for dispensing this fair and truthful judgement.
“In view of the above, we at the Labour Party Lagos State urge the Judges at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) in Abuja to toe the line of their colleagues in Lagos as they set to deliver judgement on Wednesday September 6th, 2023. This is an enormous responsibility in their hands and we urge them deliver justice in the interest of Nigeria not self.
“We want the Tribunal Judges to realise that the destinies of over two hundred millions are in their hands. This is the time to put Nigeria in her rightful place in the committee of nations. A position denied the Country by the acts of misgovernance and maladministration inflicted on us by brigandage and charlatans posing as leaders in the time past.
“We urge the Judges not to succumb to any form pressure or intimidation from any quarter. Nigeria is bigger than all of us and our allegiance should be to the nation not self. The time to take back Nigeria is now,” the statement partly read.
