When contacted, Adamu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that both parties involved in the case asked the tribunal to relocate to Abuja for security reasons.
“Yes, it is true that the tribunal has been relocated to Abuja.
“Both parties (APC and PDP) requested that the tribunal be relocated to Abuja for security reason,” Adamu said.
NAN reports that Sen. Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Candidate, is challenging the outcome of the Sept. 22, governorship election in which Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, the Candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Oyetola scored 255,505 votes to defeat Adeleke who polled 255,023 votes.
