This election review, as previously announced by INEC spokesperson Festus Okoye, began today at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja and is expected to continue until August 5.
However, two primary challengers to the APC candidate, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have filed petitions in court to contest the declaration made by INEC.
Bayode further clarified that the images of Forms EC8A captured with BVAS and transmitted to IREv were not relevant for the collation of results.
Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), the lawyer representing President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettma, stated that his clients would present their defence in the petition on Wednesday.
