Two INEC ad hoc officers had testified for Atiku on Thursday about their difficulties uploading the results of the presidential election on the IReV portal.
Two ad hoc officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday told the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja that they were instructed not to give election results sheets to political party agents who refused to sign the documents.
But Atiku and Mr Obi are urging the court to overturn Mr Tinubu’s victory. They are alleging electoral malpractices against INEC and the president. They recalled that during their training as ad hoc staff for the polls, top officials of the electoral umpire gave instructions regarding the signing of results sheets.
On her part, Ms Joseph, Atiku’s 15th witness who presented her appointment letter from INEC in evidence, said she served as a presiding officer in Niger state.She recalled that all the party agents appended their signatures on the election results sheet. While being cross-examined by APC’s lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi, a SAN, the witness said INEC appointed her as a presiding officer two days before the 25 February election.
