Oke made the suggestion in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Wednesday in Iseyin, while reacting to the Supreme Court judgement on Imo governorship election.
“I was certain from the beginning that APC won in Imo because you can’t exclude votes of 388 polling units in an election.
“But my worry is the process of establishing that, you can see that the case went up to Supreme Court and I think our legislators should look into this process.
“I am worried that we need the Supreme Court to decide who win an election and I think the National Assembly which has the Constitutional right look into it must do something.
