The Governorship Election Tribunal and National/State Houses of Assembly Election Tribunal have been created in Lagos State in preparation for the 2023 elections, according to a notification from the Secretary of the Tribunal, Aminu A. Ahmad.
The panels were established in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022 by Justice M. B. Dongban-Mensem, the Court of Appeal President.
Hon. Justice Kazeem O. Alogba, the Chief Judge of Lagos State, has sanctioned the use of the Rosaline Omotoso Courthouse in Ikeja as the venue for both tribunals, with the registry/secretariat now available to the general public. These tribunals have been put in place to address any issues that may arise from the governorship, state, and federal legislative elections, and their creation is a vital step in ensuring the upcoming elections’ transparency and impartiality.
Therefore, their formation is expected to attract public attention and be viewed as a positive development leading up to the polls.
