We have reported that results obtained from the IREV shows that as at today, May 2, the electoral body has yet to upload results from 9,403 polling units, despite hastily declaring the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the winner of the election.

It was followed by Anambra State with 834 unloaded polling units, and Rivers State was third with 793.

Results were supposed to be electronically transmitted from each of the polling stations to the commission’s collation system and also uploaded to its website.

While INEC apologised for the technical glitches” in uploading results on the IREV portal as planned, its chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu, carried on with the process and declared Tinubu winner.

According to Yakubu, Tinubu scored a total of 8,794,726 votes, while the PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar came second with a total of 6,984,520 votes.

Labour Party candidate Peter Obi came third with a total of 6,101,533 votes while Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) came fourth with 1,496,687 votes.

The opposition parties have since rejected the outcome of the election and filed petitions at the Election Tribunal citing irregularities and INEC’s failure to abide by provisions of the law. The electoral commission and the APC have also filed counterclaims insisting the election was credible.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, that the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu met the constitutional requirement of scoring 25% in the FCT to be declared winner of the February 25 presidential election.

The candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi in paragraphs 80, 81 & 82, told the tribunal to nullify the emergence of Tinubu on the grounds that he wasn’t not duly elected by majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.

“Our contention is that in an election to the position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the determination of the outcome will not only be based on the count of votes for each candidate but will also follow the guidelines set out in sections 133 and 124 of the 1999 Constitution.

“To be declared the winner, a candidate must have received the highest number of votes in the election, have obtained at least one-quarter of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all states in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and not have been previously declared and returned as elected. We are specifically relying on the result announced by INEC for the FCT, Abuja.

In their, response, INEC said Tinubu met the constitutional requirements, including scoring 25% in the FCT.

“We admit p80 and 81 but wish to clarify that because there were more than two candidates contesting the election, a candidate can only be declared the winner if they receive the highest number of votes cast and have at least one-quarter of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

“We dispute the other claims made in p81 of the Petition and affirm that Tinubu not only received the highest number of lawful votes cast, but also had at least one-quarter of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all states in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja. As such, Tinubu was rightfully declared and returned as elected.

“Regarding paragraph 82 of the Petition, we state that Tinubu, who satisfied the constitutional requirements to be declared the winner of the election, was duly declared as such, and therefore, a second election is not necessary in this instance.

Also, APC in their response, insisted that their candidate met the requirements to be declared winner but never said their candidate scored 25% in the FCT.

“In response to p80 of the petition, we state that the result of the election which returned Tinubu as the elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was ascertained and confirmed after counting of lawful votes of each of the candidates.

“We further state that the election and the return of Tinubu as the elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria followed the provisions of Section 133 and 134 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

“We admit paragraph 81 of the petition only to the extent that the Presidential Election was contested by more than two (2) candidates and that a winner shall be declared only if he scores the highest number of votes cast at the election and has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the states in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja.

“We state that Tinubu scored majority of lawful votes cast at the Presidential election and satisfied the Constitutional requirement/threshold across the Federation and was duly declared and returned as the elected President of the FRN.”

Tinubu and Shettima in their response, denied the claim by Obi and challenged him to provide evidence that they did not score the majority of the lawful votes cast. On the issue of scoring 25% of the votes in the FCT, Tinubu and Shettima said it’s not mandatory.

“We deny the claims made in paragraphs 81 & 82 of the petition and challenge the petitioners to provide evidence to support their allegations.

“We argue that the petitioners’ interpretation of sections 133 and 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) is incorrect and contrary to the clear wording and intent of these provisions and the Constitution as a whole.

“We contend that section 133 of the Constitution is irrelevant in this case since, LP & Obi themselves have shown, there were more than two candidates at the election. Furthermore, the respondents state that Nigeria’s democratic process does not rely on an Electoral College jurisprudence, particularly with regards to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

“The respondents also refute the petitioners’ claim that a candidate must obtain 25% of the votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to be validly elected as President of Nigeria.

Note that Tinubu scored 90,902 votes, which represent approximately 20% of the votes while Atiku Abubakar of the PDP scored 74,194 votes, which represents 16% of the votes.

The Labour Party Candidate, Peter Obi won in the FCT with 281,717 votes which represents 61% .

The PEPT is set to commence hearing on the 8th of May, 2023.

Tinubu Turns Down Wike’s Request to Repay Rivers for Flyovers on Federal Roads

Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the president-elect of the country, has made it clear that he will not refund the cost of flyovers constructed on the federal government’s road by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

Our Reporter reports that Tinubu’s statement was made on Wednesday during the commissioning of the 12th flyover project carried out by Gov. Wike in Port Harcourt.

During his speech, Governor Wike made a plea to the President-elect to reimburse Rivers State for the cost of the projects carried out on the federal government’s road after he is sworn in as President on May 29.

The governor stated that a letter requesting the refund had already been prepared for the incoming governor of the state, Siminialaye Fubara, which he would sign when he assumed office and ask the President to approve the refund.

In response to Wike’s demands, Tinubu asserted that he did not owe the governor anything, emphasizing that the roads were being used by the people of Rivers State.

He said, “the 12 flyovers and the demands you made for refund l, I owe you nothing, it’s your road.

“You can’t chuckle at me and make a demand. You are the one using the road. I commend your effort. You have to lobby me.”
