The petitions against the members of the House of Representatives are two of the 25 cases filed by aggrieved parties before the tribunal.
The Labour Party candidate, Adeola Adebanjo, filed the petition against Gbajabiamila for the Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos State.
Adebanjo asked the tribunal to nullify the election conducted on February 25 because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) allegedly failed to comply with the provisions of the law and its regulations and guidelines for the conduct of the elections.
In the same vein, the Labour Party candidates for the Ikeja Federal Constituency, Mutiu Okunola and his party, challenged the declaration of Faleke as the winner of the election on the ground that it was invalid for non-compliance with the provision of the Electoral Act.
Okunola also sought a declaration that substantial irregularities and non-compliance marred the election conducted by INEC with the provision of the Electoral Act and guidelines.
The petitioner further prayed the court to nullify the election and order a fresh one.
Other petitions were filed by seven candidates of the Labour Party for the House of Representatives in seven state constituencies.
They challenged the INEC, APC and the disputed winners of the constituencies.
The candidates in their various constituencies are challenging the winner of Oshodi Isolo, Kosofe, Lagos Mainland, Surulere, Shomolu, Mushin and Ikorodu.
The book also examines Nigeria's legal ecosystem, focusing on the LPELR and NBA AI Guidelines. As a bonus, every purchase comes with a FREE eBook titled: How to Use the AI Features in LegalPedia and LawPavilion.
