September 12, 2023 LP’s Attah Removed By Tribunal, Mandates Supplementary Election In Eti-Osa

In a recent ruling, the Tribunal based in Ikeja, Lagos, has invalidated the election that led to Thaddeus Attah, a candidate of the Labour Party, being declared the Representative of the Eti Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State.

According to reliable sources, the court has directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to organise a supplementary election in 32 polling units within Eti-Osa, to be completed within the next 90 days.

Ibrahim Obanikoro, the candidate from the All-Progressive Congress, affirmed this development in a public statement. He stated, "The Feb 25 election has rightly been declared inconclusive, and the court has ordered supplementary elections. INEC has been instructed to retract the return certificate and conduct elections in areas where the initial election did not occur."

Taking to Twitter, Obanikoro also announced a campaign re-launch, emphasising the renewed effort to secure the constituency seat.

It's worth noting that initially, INEC had declared Thaddeus Attah of the Labour Party as the victor in the race for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives. However, this decision was met with opposition from Eti-Osa residents and subsequently contested in court by rival parties.
