The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has tendered a video clip of how a top official of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) discussed how results would be transmitted
to a server.
The video clip was played at the
tribunal at the time Segun Showunmi, star witness of the petitioners, was being
cross-examined.
In his petition, Atiku Abubakar,
PDP presidential candidate, claimed that results from INEC server showed he
defeated President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the results showed that
he polled 18,356,732 votes while Buhari secured 16,741,430.
However, INEC declared that
Buhari polled 15,191,847 votes to defeat Atiku who had 11, 262,978 votes.
The video clip played at the
tribunal showed Mike Igini, resident electoral commissioner of INEC in Akwa
Ibom state, saying the results would be transmitted to a server.
“Results declared at the polling
units will then be sent to the INEC central server,” Igini had said in the clip
which was broadcast on Channels Television before the general election.
In the video, Igini said results
would be collated at the various polling units into the form EC8A after which
it would be transferred to the card reader and transmitted to the central
server.
Another video played at the
tribunal showed Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, saying the electoral commission
hopes to “establish a new platform for electronic collation and transmission of
results.”
The petitioners have tendered 48
video clips to establish their claim.
