Moses Ugo, a tribunal judge, the Independent National Electoral Commisssion (INEC) must be an abysmal manipulator for declaring Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar winners of some states in the February 25 presidential election.
Moses Ugo, one of the presidential election tribunal justices, says the Independent National Electoral Commission must be an “abysmally poor” manipulator for declaring Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar winners of the 2023 election in certain states.
Ugo said the petitioners failed to prove that results of the election as reeled out by INEC were manipulated.He said it was curious that Obi and Atiku won in certain states where Tinubu, who was alleged to have been favoured by INEC, secured “miserly” figures. “Incidentally, that assertion of petitioners that INEC simply closed down or blocked its IReV and e-transmission system to enable it manipulate election results in favour of 2nd respondent, also takes me directly to the more important question in the petition,” he said.
“If all the results declared by INEC for each of the states for the two sets of petitioners and 2nd respondent is anything to go by, then INEC must be an abysmally poor manipulator, if not even an imbecilic one,” he said.
