Jimi Agbaje Challenges Ambode’s Victory, Drags Him To Tribunal by DarhBlack(m): 8:13pm On May 04, 2015
Agbaje, who had congratulated
Ambode on his victory, filed the
petition on Thursday, April 30, 2015.
The petitioners in the case are
Agbaje and the PDP while the
respondents are the Independent
National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Ambode, the APC and the
INEC Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC) for Lagos State,
Akin Orebiyi.
According to documents filed by the
PDP candidate’s lawyers, the
petitioners are contesting Ambode’s
victory on three grounds:

1. INEC’s non-compliance with
Section 7 of its own 2015 Election
Guidelines which provides for the
use of card readers in all polling
units.
Agbaje is therefore seeking the
cancellation of the results of all
polling units where card readers
were not used.

2. APC’s non-compliance with
Section 85 of the Electoral Act 2010
(as amended) which stipulates that a
party must give INEC 21 days’ notice
of the convention where it intends
to choose its governorship
candidate.
APC’s letter notifying INEC of the
convention where Ambode was
elected was submitted on November
18, 2014 while he was chosen as the
party’s candidate on December 4,
2014, 5 days shy of the official
requirement.

3, Ambode’s alleged conflicting
claims of his state of origin. Agbaje
is alleging that the APC candidate
stated in his JAMB form (REG No:
646789) that he’s from Ilaje Local
Government Area in Ondo State
while in his governorship form, he
claims, under oath, to be from Epe
in Lagos State.
An insider said that Agbaje was
hesitant to pursue the case against
Ambode but was pressured into it
by members of his party.
“He already accepted the result but
they [PDP] convinced him to
challenge it,” the source said.

The Lagos State election tribunal
will begin sitting on Tuesday, May 5,
2015.
Ambode won the gubernatorial
election in Lagos with 811,994 votes
to defeat Agbaje who polled 659,788
votes.
Agbaje reportedly placed a phone
call to his opponent at 6.58pm on
Sunday, April 12, before the official
results were announced, to
congratulate him on his victory.

Agbaje is a serial loser. He will lose again at the tribunal as usual.

Jimi is the True Lagosian and has his own mind. Amode is just a frontier/Puppet for Tinubu and the like. Anyway will advice Jimi to just move and not waste money on tribunal, he should rather take time out to strategise & re-plan his next campaign

All these hypocrites that abound in PDP at it again.

Just like GEJ, you congratulated Ambode just to score some cheap point only to turn around to challenge his victory?

I hate hypocrites.
