The SDP candidate did not speak to the content of the petition but simply said that the move is to defend the sanctity of the system.
But the leader of his legal team said 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.
