“Salis is behaving like a court jester within a political environment. A man who couldn’t win his polling unit but seeks to become governor through judiciary can only be likened to a court jester.

“This is a voyage to nothingness. We won’t even dissipate our energy on him. He is a clown that should be ignored."

Legit.ng earlier reported how Owolabi Salis filed a petition at the Lagos state governorship election tribunal asking it to stop the inauguration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the executive governor on May 29.
