President Muhammadu Buhari's lawyer, Alex Izinyon, at the presidential election tribunal will on Tuesday, July 16, play a video in which INEC's chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, overruled the option of transmitting the polls results electronically.

During the court proceeding, Izinyon applied to be granted permission to play a video in which, according to him, Mahmood Yakubu, the national chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said that electronic transmission of results was not possible any longer,

The Nation reports. This move by President Buhari's lawyer came after the objection raised by petitioners’ lawyer, Chris Uche (SAN) to the use of the CD player and television set to play the said video.

Recall, that the presidential candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar on Monday played a video recording at the election petition tribunal where a Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mike Igini admitted that the electoral body would transmit election results with the use of smart card readers to the INEC central server.

However, under cross-examination by INEC led counsel, Yunus Usman, Atiku’s witness admitted that Igini was not the official spokesman for INEC, thus prayed the tribunal to grant him the permission permit to play a video of the INEC boss overruling the option of transmitting the elections results electronically.

Hearing continues on Tuesday, 16th July.
