Officials of the court have also informed the parties involved that the matter had been fixed for hearing, in line with the provisions of the constitutional 60 days for the appeal hearing, which is now due.

In his appeal, Adeleke challenged the tribunal's judgement, which annulled his victory as the state governor.

The tribunal had earlier ruled in favour of the former governor by holding that Oyetola proved the allegation of over-voting in some polling units.

Adelele has 31 grounds of appeal, praying to the court for “an order setting aside the whole decision of the tribunal.”

In one of the grounds of the appeal, Adeleke contended that “by referring to the appellant’s personal eccentricity for dancing, the lower tribunal derided and mocked him in a manner suggesting that it was biased against him.”
