Atiku also argued that INEC’s “failure to electronically transmit the election results in real-time” compromised the outcome of the presidential poll. He explained that contrary to INEC Chairman, Mr Yakubu’s repeated assurances in the build-up to the general elections to conduct the best election in Nigeria’s democratic history, the electoral umpire failed to electronically transmit results in real-time from polling units to INEC’s “electronic collation system and Results Viewing Portal ” using the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System machines.

Atiku equally premised his petition on the ground that the margin of lead – 1,810,206 votes – was less than the number of Permanent Voters Cards collected in “the polling units where elections were cancelled and did not hold across the country. ” Atiku prayed the court to determine that Mr Tinubu at the time of the election was not qualified to contest the said election.
