The Appeal Court has declared the Labour Party candidate,
Thaddeus Atta, as the duly elected House of Representatives member representing
Eti Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State.
The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal sitting at
Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, had in September declared the election
inconclusive.
The tribunal ordered the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to conduct a supplementary election within 90 days in 33
polling units where elections were not held.
However, the Appeal Court on Tuesday overturned the
tribunal’s directive and ruled that the elections were conclusive.
This legal battle involved famous Nigerian singer and
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Bankole Wellington, known as Banky W,
who was declared the runner-up in the February 2023 election, and Ibrahim
Babajide Obanikoro, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
