Three ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, who were Presiding Officers for the Feb. 25 general election have told the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, that only the results of the presidential election refused to upload to IREV.
The three presiding officers were subpoenaed by Abubakar Atiku and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Led in evidence by the petitioner’s counsel, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, the witnesses told the court that they were able to use the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, machine to transmit results for the senatorial and House of Representatives elections successfully.
They, however, told the court in their separate testimonies that they were unable to use the BVAS to transmit the presidential election results thereby making them unsatisfied with the entire election process.
The three witnesses, Janet Turaki, Christopher Ardo, and Victoria Sani told the court that they were presiding officers in Yobe, Bauchi, and Katsina states respectfully.
The witnesses all agreed that other aspects of the election went well until it was time to upload the presidential results then the BVAS machines refused to work.
Ms. Turaki, under cross-examination by counsel to INEC, Abubakar Mahmoud, SAN, told the court that the accreditation of voters was successful and voting went on smoothly at her polling unit.
She said it was after she attempted to upload the presidential election result after capturing it with the BVAS machine that the network went awry.
The witness said that having failed to successfully upload the presidential election results, she handed over everything to her ward collation agent and filled out the complaint form that INEC had provided for such purposes.
