Court affirms Ladipo Johnson as NDC senatorial candidate for Lagos Central

The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has declared Ladipo Johnson as the NDC senatorial candidate for Lagos Central, upholding the outcome of the party's primary election. Justice D. E. Osiagor dismissed the lawsuit filed by Babasola Sebanjo, ruling that the court lacked jurisdiction and the plaintiff's case had no merit. The judge affirmed that the nomination of candidates for elections is an internal matter of political parties and not subject to judicial scrutiny.

The NDC media team expressed satisfaction with the judgment, praising the court for protecting the party's internal processes. They encouraged the plaintiff to collaborate with Johnson to secure the party's victory in the upcoming general election. The statement emphasized that the primary election was a family affair, and the true winner was the people of Lagos Central, who deserve competent representation.

The NDC media team highlighted their legal team's strong representation, including Adebola Adewara, Adekunle Akitoye, Ikechukwu Onodi, and Mr. Hassan T. Fajimite. The focus now shifts to a purposeful, vibrant, and issue-based campaign addressing the needs of the Lagos Central Senatorial District. The media team appealed to all party members, stakeholders, and residents of Lagos Central to unite in their pursuit of victory and deliver progressive leadership to the area.
