After calling ten witnesses, the GRV concludes the tribunal case against Sanwo-Olu

The panel postponed the opening of INEC's defence until July 5.Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Lagos State Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate, closed his appeal against Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's victory in the March 18 election before the election tribunal in Ikeja on Tuesday.The governorship candidate is also contesting Hazmat's right to run because he reportedly renounced his Nigerian citizenship and swore loyalty to the United States of America. The petitioner's counsel, Idowu Benson, informed the three-judge tribunal led by Arum Ashom at the resumed hearing on Tuesday that the petitioner was ending his case. Ten witnesses testified in the LP candidate's petition. The counsel also produced a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the INEC Form EC9 - an affidavit providing a candidate's particulars - which Hamzat had hand-filled and had been front-loaded before the tribunal by the counsel for the fourth respondent, the All Progressives Congress (APC). The counsel for the four respondents all objected to the petitioner's document being included. The tribunal, on the other hand, admitted the paper into evidence and designated it as Exhibit PE713. Noris Quakers (SAN), counsel for the APC, stated that the CTC supplied by the petitioner was warehoused by the first respondent and did not become part of the court documents. "It is not a document in front of this tribunal." It is nothing more than a document signed by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
