Addressing Journalists shortly after filing the suit on Thursday evening at the High Court premises in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, Oni said:” I’m here to submit my petition in accordance to law and we are doing this to defend the sanctity of the system. I challenging the election result because I believe that I won.”
