President Muhammadu Buhari, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the All Progressives Congress yesterday failed in their bids to stop the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, from tendering video compact discs as evidence to prove their petition that the president did not lawfully win the February 23, 2019 presidential election.
Atiku and his party, the PDP, are alleging that the February 23 presidential poll was marred by widespread rigging, violence and substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act. Immediately Atiku’s counsel, Chris Uche , announced his plan to tender the video discs and play some of them through one of the witnesses, Segun Showunmi, counsel to INEC, Yunus Usman , objected to the request.
He stressed that no party could deviate from the agreement or adopt a position that breach the terms of the agreement. In the first video, which were from a clip recorded from a television programme aired on a Lagos-based private station, Channels Television, INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom State, Mike Igini, was quoted as saying that results from the units and wards will be collated from the Form EC8E after which they would be transferred to the card reader and “transmitted to the central server.
