Peter Obi had filed his petition at the presidential election court, asking to be declared the winner of the 25 February poll or cancel the poll for a fresh one to be conducted.
has argued that Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, failed to show how he scored the majority of lawful votes during the 25 February presidential election.
The petitioners contended at the trial of the case that Mr Tinubu was not duly elected by the majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.The five-member panel of the court led by Haruna Tsammani had ordered parties to the case to exchange their final addresses at the end of the trial.Obi’s petition “lacks merits.”
Also addressing the issue of Mr Tinubu’s alleged trafficking of narcotic drugs in the US, Mr Mahmoud said, “There was no criminal charge, sentence or conviction to support the allegation of criminal conviction or forfeiture,” referencing a letter from the US government tendered during the defence. On the issue of INEC’s failure to upload polling units results of the presidential election to its Result View Portal in real-time on 25 February, Mr Mahmoud said that electoral officers “could not transmit” the image of the results to the IReV portal “due to the technical glitch that occurred on the e-transmission application hosted by Amazon Web Services…, this…technical glitch… was eventually resolved.
Mr Bayode, during his testimony, stated that he was one of the persons who designed the INEC e-transmission system and helped resolve the technical glitch that occurred on election day. Mr Mahmoud added in the INEC’s final address that Mr Obi failed to “lead credible evidence” to aid his case.
