He said this followed Friday’s Supreme Court decision sacking all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general election.
The apex court had ruled the party did not hold a valid primary election and subsequently voided its votes.
Matawalle had scored 189,452 to emerge second in the governorship election.
