The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Abdulaziz ‘Jandor’ Adediran, has expressed disappointment following the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s election victory.

The apex court, aligning with earlier rulings by the Election Petition Tribunal and the Court of Appeal, dismissed the appeal filed by Jandor and the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, citing a lack of merit.
