TRIBUNAL: PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS FAILED TO UPLOAD – INEC OFFICIALS 


Three persons who served as ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as Presiding Officers for the February 25 general elections have told the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) that only the results of the presidential election failed to upload to IREV.

The three INEC ad hoc staff were subpoenaed by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

However, they opened up to the court in their testimonies that they couldn’t use the BVAS to transmit the presidential election results, making them not fully satisfied with the election process.

The three ad hoc staff, Janet Turaki, Christopher Ardo, and Victoria Sani, told the court that they were respectfully presiding officers in Yobe, Bauchi, and Katsina states.

The witnesses all agreed that other aspects of the election went well until it was time to upload the presidential results, and then the BVAS machines refused to work.
