A worker at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Egwumah Omachonu Friday, on Thursday, told the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) sitting in Abuja that he was unable to transmit the presidential election results to INEC server despite being able to transmit Senate and House of Representatives election results at the time.
Friday, a subpoenaed witness who was an ad-hoc staff of the electoral body during the February 25 general elections said the election was peaceful but presidential election results were unable to be transmitted along with other results.
Earlier, President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress opposed the bid by the petitioners to engage ad-hoc staff of INEC to give evidence in their joint petition challenging the declaration of Tinubu as winner of the February 25 2023 presidential election. Meanwhile, Tinubu, represented by Chief Wole Olanipekun , objected to the tendering of statements on oath made by the witnesses before the Court.
He asked the Court to reject the witnesses and discountenance their statements on grounds of violating the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.
