There was a mild drama at the presidential election petition court (PEPC) yesterday over claims by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential

Nwuala maintained during cross-examination by INEC’s lawyer, Abubakar Mahmoud, that it was unnecessary for the electoral body to have deleted the presidential election result data from BVAS machines used in the FCT because the FCT did not hold governorship elections.

Nwuala who was under cross-examination by counsel to INEC maintained during cross-examination that since there is a deviation in the small sample space of 110 samples analysed, “it is likely to increase as the number of sample size increases.” The witness further noted that he attached a standard device to the BVAS machine to carry out his investigation.

INEC insisted the BVAS must be inspected in court, but the chairman of the five-member panel of the court, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, reminded the respondent counsel that the allotted time for conducting his cross-examination had elapsed. He confronted the witness with a portion of his report where he said that from his inspection of the machines, “nothing was intrinsically wrong with them”, and asked him if he was in Abuja during the presidential poll.

Meanwhile, Atiku and his party continued their battle against the declaration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the election with the tendering of certified exhibits in four more states of the federation.
