Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for governor in Lagos, has declared his decision to appeal the ruling of the Lagos State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.
This was expressed by Rhodes-Vivour in a news release on Tuesday along with his opinion of the verdict.
He emphasised that having the capability to both cast a ballot and defend one’s vote is essential to democracy.
“The essence of democracy lies not only in our ability to vote but also in our capacity to defend the integrity of that vote.

“Consequently, our laws allow Governorship candidates to challenge the decisions of the electoral tribunals at the Court of Appeal, and up to the Supreme Court. In light of this, my lawyers have been instructed to appeal this judgment, as we remain confident of getting substantial justice at the appellate courts,” he said.
Rhodes-Vivour stated the prospect of obtaining significant justice before the appeal courts while urged his followers and Lagosians in general to remain calm, peaceful, and law abiding.
“In these trying times, your unwavering support means the world to us, we must remain united, vigilant, and hopeful.
“The ultimate victory may take time to come our way, but it is, we strongly believe inevitable as we have come to understand that the wheels or justice may sometimes grind slowly but it definitely grinds to a sure end,” the LP candidate added.
