PDP wins Lagos LG seat

Lagos State Local Government Election Petitions Tribunal has declared the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Busari Akande, as the validly elected chairman of Agbado Oke Odo Local Council Development Area of the state.

The Justice Ade Owobiyi-led tribunal, in its judgment on Thursday, voided the certificate of return earlier issued by the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission to the Action Congress of Nigeria’s candidate in the October 22, 2011 poll,  Dr. Augustine Arogun.

The tribunal held that Akande polled the highest number of valid votes in the election.
