A three-man tribunal sitting in Ikeja, Lagos has dismissed the petition of Jimi Agbaje.

Agbaje, the People's Democratic Party governorship candidate, had filed a petition against Akinwunmi  Ambode of the All Progressive Congress (APC) challenging the declaration of Ambode as the winner of the April 11 gubernatorial election in Lagos State.

The tribunal led by Justice Muhammad Sirajo on Wednesday upheld the preliminary objection raised by Chief Wole Olanipekun that the petition was incompetent.

Agbaje filed the petition against Ambode on Thursday, April 30, 2015.
