The Peoples Democratic Party has just informed the presidential
election petition tribunal that it has presented its last witness and was
closing its case.
The party made the
announcement after presenting Osita Chidoka, a former aviation minister and
national collation agent during the last poll.
With the appearance
of Mr Chidoka, the petitioners presented 62 witnesses before the tribunal.
Speaking during his
cross-examination, Mr Chidoka said INEC officials had noted during the
collation of results that the central server existed and had been used by the
Commission.
He, however, added
that he never saw the server in person.
The PDP presented
5, 196 result sheets on July 4 when they opened their case and tendered 26, 175
documents on July 5.
On Friday, the
party tendered an additional 1, 353 result sheets and documents of
certification to argue its case.
The tribunal
Chairman, Mohammed Garba, adjourned till July 29 for the respondents to open
their defence.
