The PresidentialElection Petitions Tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by the PeoplesDemocratic Party and its candidate in the 2019 Presidential electionchallenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in its entirety.
Part of the decisionsreached so far are: President Muhammadu Buhari was eminently qualified tocontest the February 23, 2019 presidential election
Buhari did not give information in anaffidavit submitted to INEC concerning his academic qualification
The manual for theelection issued by INEC did not provide for electronic transmission of resultsof the election
Petitioners failed to prove that electionresults were transmitted electronically.
Petitioners’ Witness59, who was brought from Kenya, failed to prove that there was an INEC server.
PW59 relied on hearsay information about the said INEC server posted on a website, www.factsdontlie.com by a purported whistle blower who was never known.
Card reader machine was not used to transmit results during the election but for mere authentication of ownership of voter cards.
Petitioners merelydumped documents particularly electoral materials on the tribunal withoutdemonstrating them by tying the evidence of any of their 62 witnesses to thedocuments in their bid to prove the allegations in their petition
