President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu has set up high-ranking legal team that will confront Labour Party and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in court, iwitnesslive.com can report.
All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) Spokesperson, Festus Keyamo revealed this in Abuja on Friday.
Keyamo said the party is fully armed with all available facts required to defend the mandate of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu in court.
“Those who voted across Nigeria, including Atiku and Obi, were accredited by BVAS. Save for bad losers that these two people have proven to be, we should rather be celebrating the tremendous improvement the use of BVAS has brought to our electoral process.“Section 38 of the Electoral Acct 2022 referred to by the PDP and LP has nothing to do with the transmission of election results. Section 60, subsection 2 of the Act deals with the transmission of results and it is at the discretion of INEC.
“The Act does not contain any mandatory provision regarding the transmission of results. In any case, the process of transmitting results from polling units, whether real-time, two days later, or at any time, cannot in any way change the results that have been announced right after the counting in the presence of the parties’ agents and to the hearing of the voters.
“It is, therefore, nonsensical to insinuate that time variation in uploading results would cause a change in the figures. The 2023 Presidential election is a watershed as it produced unprecedented outcomes and defied conventions. The deployment and use of BVAS is the only reason the elections produced these strange outcomes and upsets in many cases.” he said
