The Alliance for Democracy (AD) in Lagos State on Friday described the decision of the Supreme Court to dismiss its case as a bondage decision.
Its governorship candidate, Chief Owolabi Salis, in a statement alleged that the ruling would encourage violence and rigging in future elections.
He said: “By the decision of the Supreme Court, what they are saying is that for you to win elections in Lagos, you have to intimidate, cause violence, collude with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and above all allocate results against opposition and if possible give the opposition zero vote. This cannot be freely decided by holders of justice unless in bondage.
“If the holders of justice are no longer following justice or allowing justice to be, then everybody will be. This is judicial crisis.

“President Muhammadu Buhari saw some of these problems with justice and tried to do something. I understood before, now some will understand. We need justice reform in Nigeria.”
Salis urged Lagosians to rely on God for justice.
“I represent the people and the people have one last appeal to make; an appeal to God of true justice to do something. I have appealed on behalf of the people of Lagos to the God of Justice; he will do something soon.
This is the God you cannot buy, the God you cannot deceive and the God you cannot put in hostage or in bondage.
“I am yet to decide my political future on whether to be a front-page politician or a back page politician, but right now, I want to focus on building my religious beliefs and charitable activities,” he said.
