The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPEC), was on Friday told that the major rigging of the 2023 presidential election against the former Vice
President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, took place at the Ward Collation Centres where agents of the Peoples Democratic Party were allegedly molested and chased away from the centres.
The witness, who was led in his evidence-in-chief by Atiku’s lead counsel, Chris Uche, SAN, accused the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission of breaching the 2022 Electoral Act, by not transmitting the election results electronically as required by law. Responding to Tinubu’s lawyer, Akin Olujimi, SAN, Msheliza admitted that elections were held at polling units with substantial peace, but he, however, claimed that BVAS machines were bypassed at ward collation centers where results were altered and falsified.
The former lawmaker, who claimed that he voted and also acted as Niger State PDP Collation Agent, told the court that the actual results recorded at the polling units were not the ones recorded in the Form EC8D hence, his refusal to endorse the falsified collated results.
