Atiku and the PDP filed the appeal to enable them to have access to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s sever.

Justice Centus Nweze, who read the lead judgment of the apex court, said there was no basis to interfere with the discretion of the tribunal rejecting the petitioners’ request to have an access to the said server. It held that it would be inappropriate to grant an order for access to the server, when INEC had denied the existence of the server or that it transmitted the election results electronically.

They maintained that granting the prayer sought by the appellants would be of no utility value as presentation of evidence at the tribunal had closed.
