The Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, has nullified the election that placed Thaddeus Attah of the Labour Party as Representative of the Eti Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State.
Pulse has gathered information that the court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a supplementary election in 32 polling units of Eti-Osa within 90 days.
Confirming this, the All Progressive Congress candidate, Ibrahim Obanikoro, in a public statement, noted “The Feb 25 election has just been rightly declared inconclusive and Supplementary elections has been ordered by the court.
Inec has been ordered to withdraw the return certificate issued and conduct elections in areas where election didn’t hold on Election Day.”
Further taking to Twitter, he indicated a campaign re-launch.
Recall, that INEC had proclaimed Attah of the Labour Party the winner Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives
Attah’s win was met with resistance by the Eti-Osa residents and was further challenged in court by opposing parties.
But, how did Attah win in the first place, despite being so unpopular?
