According to him, Lagosians have always abide themselves with the progressives hence the results of the last elections in the state should not have generated any contention.
“Lagosians have always cast their lots with the progressives, therefore, the results of the elections in the state in which APC symbolised by our governor and other candidates of the party won convincingly should not have given room for any contention.
“But this is democracy and democracy allows one to challenge elections results which the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate have done and the Tribunal has judiciously done its job.
