Now That Court Is Saying You Cannot Rely On Secondary Source, Obi Is Only Left With BVAS- Jide Ojo

President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election had been contested at the Tribunal by Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for president. In court, Peter Obi contended that respondent Bola Tinubu’s election victory was invalidated due to substantial overvoting in various areas. Jide Ojo, one of the election observers, thinks that Peter Obi’s only option for resolving the overvoting dispute is the BVAS given the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Adeleke case.
He stated to AIT news that the Supreme Court has made it plain that secondary source evidence (i.e., the server in the back) cannot be used in court cases. According to him, the BVAS will serve as the foundation for Peter Obi’s overvoting defense of Tinubu. He asserts that the legal possibilities for the Labour Party depend on INEC’s promptness in providing the required data
And now the Court is ordering that the BVAS at the polling sites where you objected to overvoting be examined, he said. If so, it is unknown from what proportion of polling locations the Labour Party is alleging fraud in its appeal of the presidential election. They will require a court order in order to examine the BVAS and determine the overvoting.
The emphasis is no longer on primary and secondary sources, nevertheless. Obi must use BVAS because the Court found secondary sources to be unreliable. This is so that the Court can determine if a battery issue occurred or whether an INEC officer forgot to press the transmit button. INEC will only provide you with the information it possesses, no matter how incomplete. Please be patient with us while we work out the glitches because this is the first time we’ve used this technology.
