The Labour Party, LP, on Wednesday hailed the judgment of National Assembly Election Petition Tribunals in Lagos that upheld the elections of Mr Okey-Joe Onuakalusi and Mr Wande George of Oshodi-Isolo II and Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituencies, respectively.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Mrs Olubunmi Odesanya, made this known in a statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday.

Odesanya said the party also received with rude shock the judgments delivered by the National and State Assembly Petition Tribunal where a member for Ojo Federal Constituency was sacked.

She added that the plea of its Lagos Central Senatorial Candidate was thrown out based on matters they felt were pre-election issues.

The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, on Monday, upheld the elections of Onuakalusi and George of the Labour Party (LP) as the duly elected House of Representatives’ members for Oshodi-Isolo II and Amuwo-Odofin respectively.

The three-man panel led by Justice Abass Abdullahi, held that the “petitioners lacked the legal right to meddle or interfere into the conduct of the primaries of a political party of when they are not members of aspirants in the said primaries”.
