Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State last March, Abdulazeez Adediran also known as Jandor, said on Friday that he has filed an appeal to challenge the judgment of Lagos State Election Petition Tribunal which upheld the re-election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Head of Media and Communication of Jandorforgovernor Campaign Organisation, Gbenga Ogunleye, made this known in a press statement.
Jandor said he filed a 34-ground appeal dated October 13, to express dissatisfaction with the verdict of the tribunal.
He claimed that miscarriage of laws characterised the judgment, and prayed the Court of Appeal to set aside the judgment.

Jandor further said that the tribunal erred in law and reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed his petition challenging the qualification of Sanwo-Olu for the March 18 governorship election.
He said that his petition was premised on the provision of Section 177(c) and 182(1)(j) of the 1999 Constitution.
“By this action, I reaffirm my commitment to birth a breath of fresh air in governance in Lagos State by ensuring that the provisions of the constitution and the electoral laws as regards election of a truly qualified governor, is upheld,” he said.
