The Appeal Court has recently overturned a prior decision by the National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal, which had declared the House of Representatives election for Eti Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State as inconclusive. Instead, the court has now recognized Thaddeus Atta of the Labour Party as the rightful winner of the seat.InformationGuideNigeria

The Tribunal had initially called for a rerun in 33 polling units where voting did not take place, setting 90 days for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to carry out a supplementary election.NYSC Portal

However, this decision was upended by the higher court’s ruling, which affirmed the election as conclusive.

The legal contest drew public attention due to the involvement of popular Nigerian singer Bankole Wellington, widely known as Banky W, who ran on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket and finished second in the February 2023 election. Also in the fray was Ibrahim Babajide Obanikoro, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate.JAMB Portal
