The poll was won by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while both Obi and Atiku rejected the outcome and sought legal redress.
In its legal process, dated March 4, the nation’s electoral umpire appealed with the appellate court, expected to sit as the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, to vary the order to enable it reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS it used for the presidential poll. According to INEC, the configuration is necessary since the BVAS would also be deployed for the next round of polls, starting with governorship and state assemblies elections slated for Saturday, as well as other rescheduled elections. The Commission also noted that, without a prompt variation of the inspection order granted to Obi and Atiku, especially the aspect restraining it from tampering
with formation contained in the BVAS, it would be difficult for it to proceed with the scheduled polls.
