INEC Server Controversy: Atiku counters presidency on election tribunal ruling
File photo of Former Vice President and chieftain of PDP, Atiku Abubakar and President Muhammadu BuhariThe presidential candidate of the Peoples Democracy Party , Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to a statement by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, on the recent ruling of the Presidential Election Tribunal on his petition before the tribunal.
The tribunal on Monday refused an application by Mr Abubakar and his party to compel the INEC to grant them access to the server INEC allegedly used to transmit results for the 2019 presidential election. But Paul Ibe, the Media Adviser to Mr Abubakar, in a statement on Tuesday, said Mr Shehu misinterpreted the court ruling.
“What the honourable Tribunal said is that it is still at the preliminary stages and the main case HAS NOT begun and that the matter of granting access to inspect the INEC server is not relevant to the preliminary stages. It is a matter to be adjudicated upon when the case proper is being heard.
