The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has ruled that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, failed to prove the allegations made against the election of President Muhammadu Buhari, and consequently dismissed the petition.
In the judgment which is still being read, Justice Mohammed Garba, the president of the Tribunal, said, “The petitioners failed to prove its allegations against Buhari on electoral violence, therefore petition is dismissed.
” The petitioners failed to bring their witnesses to testify in court.” He said
Justice Mohammed Garba earlier declared that there is no evidence that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC transmitted the results of the last presidential election electronically to any server.
The court therefore held that the petitioners, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, failed to prove the existence of an INEC server.
