Presidential Election: Why We Thrown Out Atiku, PDP case on INEC Server – Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has held that Atiku Abubakar and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were not able to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), had a server and that it transmitted election results electronically.

The apex court stated this while giving its reasons for dismissing the appeal by the PDP and Atiku.

The lead judge, Justice Inyang Okoro, said, “I agree entirely with the court below that the appellants failed to prove that INEC has the server from which they got their figures. As a result, all the results, calculations, and analysis based on the results claimed are of no moment.”

The apex court also resolved issue 4 against irregularity and corrupt practices against the appellants.

The 5th issue was also resolved against the appellant, which relates to the admission of some documents tendered by the respondents to the petition before the lower court.
