Despite earlier claims that results of the 2019 presidential election were never transmitted or collated electronically, some presiding officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Borno and Yobe states have given a contrary report.
The officers, about 13 of them, told the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja that they transmitted results of the February 23 presidential election to the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
They said this while giving their Witness Statement of Oath in support of the petition filed by the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, challenging the election of President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Furthermore, they added that INEC had during their training, instructed them on how to electronically transmit the results to its server.
