The Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for governor of Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), says he wouldn’t congratulate Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who won the poll on Saturday.
The INEC announced the incumbent governor as the victor of the March 18th gubernatorial election after she won 19 out of the state’s 20 LGAs.
At a news conference, Rhodes-Vivour described the election as being fraudulent and showed a video to demonstrate how Sanwo-Olu was made to look good in the election results.
GRV on Why he Won’t Congratulate Sanwo-Olu
“The signatures are there, but these results have been tampered with and uploaded. Also, a lot of results are called authentic results, but they are state of assembly results or presidential results. These results are being calculated and announced by INEC. There are so many instances of these, and it won’t stand.
“We have our own results, which we are in the lead and we will challenge this in a court of law. This was a sham and compromise of an election, it was an illegality that has never been perpetrated in Lagos since I was born.
“This was an election where an entire agent of a party was chased away from their polling unit. I will never call Babajide Sanwo-Olu to congratulate him for this sham of an election.
“This has set the precedence for violence in the election as ideas might not be discussed anymore.”
