Faleke has also dragged INEC before the elections petitions tribunal to determine if the election body was right by taking that decision.
This might not be in the favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC), because indirectly, the Deputy Governor elect is challenging the election of Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Faleke said he has no grouse with the APC, adding that all he wants is to secure the mandate given to him and Late Audu by the people.
