Faleke, accompanied by Mohammed Audu, son of the late Audu, and lawyers, submitted the petition to the clerk of the tribunal around 12:20 pm. in Lokoja, capital of the state, on Monday.
Hundreds of party members and supporters converged on the state High Court premises, venue of the tribunal, to witness the event. Akanji Akinlabi, secretary of the tribunal, who received the petition, said the contents were yet to become public.
