Former vice president and presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has insisted that the result
from the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
confirmed he defeated President Muhammadu Buhari.
In his submission to the presidential election tribunal, the
former vice president gave the “unique MAC address and Microsoft product ID of
the INEC server” from where the results were obtained.
INEC official results shows that Buhari polled 15,191,847, while
Atiku came second with 11,262,978 votes. But Atiku told the tribunal that he
polled a total of 18,356,732 votes to Buhari’s 16,741,430 votes.
Abubakar and the PDP insisted that the address of the server
from which the results were obtained are unique to INEC.
“The Servers from which the said figures were derived belong
to the first Respondent (INEC). The figures and votes were transmitted to the
first Respondent’s Presidential Result’s Server 1 and thereafter aggregated in
INEC_PRES_RSLT_SRV2019, whose Physical Address or unique Mac Address is
94-57-A5-DC-64-B9 with Microsoft Product ID 00252-7000000000-AA535. The above
descriptions are unique to the 15t Respondent’s Server,” they said.
“There is no conjecture in the votes and scores in the table
pleaded by the Petitioners. The figures are factual. The Spokesperson for the
2nd Respondent’s Campaign Organization openly admitted that the data in
question was in the first Respondent’s Server when he wrote and submitted a
petition to the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the
Department of State Services (DSS) asking the Security agencies to investigate
the 2nd Petitioner herein for allegedly hacking into the Server of the 1St
Respondent and obtaining the data in question.
“Specifically, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, the Spokesperson of
the 2nd Respondent claimed in the said petition that it was the first
Petitioner who smuggled the data into the Server.”
Atiku and the PDP also alleged the INEC chairman “committed
grave errors in the final collation exercise” for the election by “falsely
crediting” some persons with political parties, including “Okotie Christopher,
Reverend Dr. Onwubuya and Ojinika Jeff Chinze.”
“The grave errors referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above
were under the hands and signature of the first Respondent’s Chairman, (who was
also the Returning Officer) in the conduct of the final collation of the
results of the Presidential Election,” they added.
“The Petitioners state that the final results as declared by
the first respondent are those that were transmitted online to the website of
the first Respondent (www inecnigeria.org).” He added.
