PDP’s Jandor files 34 Grounds of Apeal against the Judgment of Lagos State Governorship Election Tribunal
***_Ask Appel Court to set aside the order of the Election Petition Tribunal_
The Lagos PDP candidate in the 2023 governorship election Dr. AbdulAzeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR) has filed an appeal challenging the September 25th ruling of the State Election Petition Tribunal.
Dr. Adediran in the appeal dated 13 October expressed dissatisfaction in the mis-carriage of Laws that characterized the tribunal judgement and therefore asked the Court of Appeal to set aside the judgement of the tribunal.
In his notice of appeal, he said the State Election Petitions Tribunal erred in law and thereby reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed the petition he lodged to challenge the qualifications of Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu of APC who was announced as the winner of the election.
He also faulted the tribunal for striking out from his petition, Mr. Gbedebo Rhodes-Vivour, the candidate the candidate of the Labour Party in the election, saying contrary to the holding of the Tribunal, since he also alleged that the sponsorship of Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour, was also invalid, the Tribunal must also invalidate his candidacy before he could take benefits of their unpardonable infractions.
JANDOR and his political party, the PDP reteirated that their petitions, asking for the disqualification of the duo of APC and Labour Party candidates are premised on the provision of section 177(c) and 182(1)(j) of the constitution of the Federal Republic Nigeria, which are constitutional grounds for qualification and disqualification for the office of Governor in Nigeria and supported by section 134(1) and 134(3) of the Electoral Act 2022.
By this action, JANDOR has reaffirmed his commitment to birth a breath of fresh air in governance in Lagos State by ensuring the provisions of the constitution and the electoral law as regards the election of a truly qualified governor is upheld.

IGP Disu orders officers to shoot anyone carrying illegal firearms
Disu explained that the directive was backed by Force Order 237, which empowers police officers to respond immediately to armed threats without waiting for approval from superior officers.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has directed police officers across the country to shoot on sight anyone found carrying illegal firearms, as part of intensified efforts to curb insecurity.
Disu issued the directive on Friday during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, saying the move followed President Bola Tinubu’s instruction that the lingering security crisis in the state must be brought to an end.
The police chief maintained that only authorised security personnel are legally permitted to carry firearms, warning that law enforcement agencies would no longer tolerate the unlawful possession of weapons.
” You cannot move around freely carrying arms as if there is no law and order in this country. It will not be tolerated,” he said.
Disu explained that the directive was backed by Force Order 237, which empowers police officers to respond immediately to armed threats without waiting for approval from superior officers.
