The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State, has reportedly annulled the Labour Party (LP) lawmaker, Thaddeus Attah’s victory as Representative of the Eti Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State.
The court ordered INEC to conduct a supplementary election in the 32 polling units of Eti-Osa within 90 days.
INEC has also been ordered to withdraw the return certificate issued to Attah and conduct elections in areas where the election was not held on February 25.
To confirm the news the APC candidate, Ibrahim Obanikoro, wrote on his Instagram story that, “The Feb 25 election has just been rightly declared inconclusive and supplementary elections have been ordered by the court. INEC has been ordered to withdraw the return certificate and conduct elections in areas where it didn’t hold on Election Day.”
His colleague from the PDP, Olubankole Wellington also wrote on his Twitter page, “It is possible. Still.”
It would be recalled that Thaddeus Attah surprisingly knocked off Banky W from the Eti Osa Federal Constituency slot during the general elections earlier this year.
The little known LP candidate was declared the winner by INEC.
