Naija News recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announced the final Presidential election results recorded in various states in the country on Tuesday night.
Based on INEC’s figures, President Buhari and his party, the APC defeated Abubakar and his party, the PDP, with a margin of 3,928,869 in Nigeria’s presidential election.
Few hours after the results were announced a report has emerged, saying that the PDP has assembled a team of lawyers to challenge the result in court.
The report which was filed by TheCable quoted sources as saying that Kanu Agabi, former attorney-general of the federation, is leading the team of lawyers that will challenge the result at the presidential election petitions tribunal of the federal court of appeal, Abuja.
Other members of the legal team, according to the report, are Joe Gadzama, who has always served as a lawyer to the party, and Chris Uche, among other senior advocates of Nigeria.
“We are currently collating evidence to challenge the results being announced by INEC. We have been asking them to give us the data of the card readers used in Borno, Yobe and Nasarawa states but they have so far refused. This is daylight robbery,” a PDP executive told TheCable.
