The video of INEC’s Chairman, Yakubu Mahmud admitted by the presidential tribunal on Tuesday appeared to discredit allegation that results of the February 23 general election were transmitted to the commission’s central server.
The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate in the 2019 presidential election alleged in their petition challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election that results were transmitted to central server managed by INEC.
Counsel for the petitioners, Chris Uche, SAN, had on July 15 led a star witness, Segun Showunmi to tender 48 Compact Discs evidence to substantial their claims.
The INEC boss had in that clip expressed wish to work within the law to transmit the results of the general election electronically.
However, Yunus Usman, SAN, spotted pit hole in the clip and Showunmi’s testimony during cross examination.
Usman had explained that the witness only brought sets of videos that told a one-sided story.
