NAN also reports that Oyetola and APC are plaintiffs in the suit earlier filed, challenging the victory of Adeleke at the governorship election.
INEC had declared Adeleke as the winner of the Osun July 16 governorship elections, where he defeated the incumbent, Oyetola.
Oyetola, who was not satisfied with the outcome of the election, dragged both INEC and Adeleke to court through his lead counsel, Mr Yomi Aliyu (SAN).
