The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has said it was not surprised that the tribunal dismissed the petition of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje.
The party said the verdict confirmed that Lagosians voted for good governance and continuity.
In a statement by its spokesman, Joe Igbokwe, the APC said: “The PDP in Lagos did everything to win, including setting one ethnic group against the other; dishing out millions of foreign currencies, unleashing ethnic militias, deploying security agencies, SURE-P outlaws and others to harass and intimidate Lagosians.
“Lagos PDP failed because there is no meeting point between light and darkness, no meeting point between the serious and the unserious, no meeting point between conservatives and progressives, and no meeting point between performers and non-performers.
“The truth is that Lagos has always been in the hands of the progressives since it was created in 1967 and it will continue to remain in the hands of progressives.
“Lagos APC rejoices with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for this victory.We urge the governor to hit the ground running.”
