The candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Segun Oni, has taken the ruling All Progressives Congress to tribunal over the outcome of the Ekiti State governorship election held on June 18.
The former governor submitted a petition against the outcome of the election at the Election Petitions Tribunal in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
Oni was accompanied to the secretariat of the Election Petitions Tribunal Thursday evening by his legal team and SDP state Chairman and chieftains to submit the over 1,000-page petition.
According to his legal team, the petition will challenge the eligibility of the Governor-elect, Mr Oyebanji to contest the election and question the actual victory attributed to him in the poll.
