The Alliance for Democracy (AD) and Owolabi Salis, its governorship candidate in the last election, have filed a petition at the Lagos governorship election tribunal, seeking to stop the inauguration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the governor on May 29.
The petitioners alleged that Sanwo-Olu has a criminal record in the US and he is of unsound mind and should be disqualified from being sworn in as governor.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Sanwo-Olu, All Progressives Congress (APC) and Sam Olumekun, INEC residential electoral commissioner are listed as respondents to the petition.
Other respondents are -the returning officer for the election, the commissioner of Police and the Nigerian Army.
The Petition, a copy of which was made available to NAN, stated “The second respondent (Sanwo-Olu) is a person adjudged to be of unsound mind and who is not capable to be sworn in as the Governor of Lagos state.
“Sanwo-Olu has records of unsound mind and rehabilitation with the Gbagada General Hospital Lagos state.
“By virtue of section 182(1)(c) of the 1999 constitution as (amended), the second respondent is a person not qualified to be sworn in as a governor.
“Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, the present governor of Lagos state and who is the chief security officer of the state attested to the fact that Sanwo-Olu is of unsound mind and not fit and proper person to govern Lagos State.
“Governor Ambode equally stated that Sanwo-Olu was arrested and detained for several months and was convicted for spending fake dollars at a night club in America.”
Ambode had levelled the allegations against Sanwo-Olu one day to the primary election where he lost the APC governorship ticket.
