The governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2023 governorship election in Lagos State, Funso Doherty, has called for an urgent investigation into the N200,000,000 earmarked for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s election litigation.

“Our attention has been drawn to four awards from the Ministry of Justice in January 2023 totaling N200 million to four law firms in respect of personal legal representation for you Mr Governor, in a partisan political matter. In light of this obvious irregularity of such award, and the apparent involvement of the Justice Ministry, I hereby suggest that an independent special investigator be appointed to examine this specific matter and report findings to the public,” the open letter by Mr Doherty read.

Gbadebo, in a post via X, asserted that Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat and the Independent National Electoral Commission were taken to court and not the Lagos State government.
