The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Thursday, urged the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make its ICT officials available for interrogation by his team of lawyers and experts.
Mr Obi seeks to interrogate INEC’s ICT officials regarding the use of the Internet in the conduct of the 25 February presidential election.
Mr Obi is challenging the emergence of President Bola Tinubu as winner of the poll.
He is alleging manipulation of the electoral process by INEC in favour of Mr Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He alleged fraud and non-compliance with statutory provisions.
Earlier on Thursday, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who is similarly challenging Mr Tinubu’s victory in the election, got two of INEC’s ad hoc electoral officers to testify for him in court.
When it was turn of Mr Obi’s case at the court on Thursday, his lawyer, Patrick Ikweto, sought to know the quality of the ICT experts and professionals who superintended the presidential election.
In two requests, Mr Ikweto urged the court to order the electoral commission to supply him with the names and other details of its ICT professionals that deployed electronic devices for the conduct of the election.
