Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, closed his case at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.

His Counsel, Chief Chris Uche , had informed the tribunal that they would not be calling any other witness after the star witness, former Corp Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps and one-time minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka, was called in after the tribunal reconvened from the traditional one-hour break.

Chidoka said he was there when the results were collated by INEC and that it was done manually. Though he could not disclose the serial number of the server in which results were transmitted to by party agents, he reminded the INEC Counsel that card reader was not mentioned in their meetings with Yakubu, but it was used in the election.

Chidoka also told the tribunal that Yakubu had told him that it would be immoral for the electoral body not to use electronic transmission of results after N27billion had been spent on IT facilities and equipment. On whether he attached his education qualification to his deposition, the witness answered in the negative.
