The Labour Party governorship candidate in the March 18 election in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour GRV, has queried the Lagos state Ministry of Justice for paying for the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s legal team at the election petition tribunal.
GRV on his X handle posted screenshots of a purported budgetary statement released by the Ministry of Justice in Lagos state showing money allegedly allocated to some legal chambers to represent Gov Sanwo-Olu in court for election matters.

This is why they are always quick to say ” Go to court” because they are so irresponsible and cheap, to not even pick up their legal bills.”
