APC spokesman accuses Atiku, PDP of hacking INEC servers

Yekini Nabena, a spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of hacking into the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Nabena, who was reacting to the claim by the PDP that its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, actually won the 2019 election from what the INEC server showed, wondered how the political organisation could have gotten the figure without hacking into it.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, asked the presidential election tribunal to declare him winner of the February 23 election.

Atiku made the request in a petition filed before the tribunal in Abuja on Monday, March 18, where he challenged President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.

The PDP national legal adviser, Emmanuel Enoidem, told journalists that in addition to the request that Atiku be declared the winner of the election, the party is also seeking for the election to be aside over alleged widespread irregularities.

“In the alternative, we also asked that the election be set aside on the ground of irregularity which was apparent across the country.

“We have also lined up more than 400 witnesses that are going to testify in this petition,” he said.
