Senator Abiru

Senator Adetokunbo Abiru has been declared as the rightful winner of the Lagos East Senatorial District election.

The judgment was delivered today by the Supreme Court after it dismissed the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP)’s suit which sought to disqualify Abiru.

It upheld the argument of Kemi Pinheiro, (SAN) for Abiru and Abiodun Owonikoko (SAN) for APC that the appeal lacked merit.

The apex court also awarded cost of N1million against the appellants – the PDP and its candidate Babatunde Gbadamosi – and in favour of each of the respondents, Abiru and the APC.

Justice Adamu Jauro wrote the lead judgement.

APC chieftain Abiru won the last December 5 senatorial bye-election by a landslide, polling 89,204 votes against Gbadamosi’s 11,257 votes.
