, which was critical of INEC’s conduct of the disputed election, was admitted as an exhibit in the case filed by the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the poll.
“We strongly reject, in its entirety, any notion and idea from any organisation, group and individual remotely suggesting that the 2023 election was fraudulent,” Mr Tinubu’s spokesperson, Jede Alake, said on Sunday while reacting to the EU report. During the cross-examination of the witness, Atiku’s lawyer, Chris Uche, sought to tender a copy of the EU Observers report concerning the conduct of Nigeria’s recent general election.
The lawyers promised to give details of their objection later, as the court admitted the report in evidence. “Only 31 per cent of the presidential election results uploaded on the IReV system were formally and mathematically correct, which evidenced serious deficiency in the training of polling staff,” Mr Bayode added from the EU report.
