Melaye testifies at presidential election tribunal, alleges INEC computed results wrongly

The former Kogi West senator added that he walked out of the national collation centre before the end of the process in February when he discovered fraudulent activities at the centre.

Melaye, who was cross-examined by INEC’s lawyer, Mr. Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN), said most PDP agents across the country did not sign the Form EC8As presented from the polling units.

He alleged that results brought to the national collation centre by state electoral officers were at variance with the results recorded in the state.

When asked to give the actual scores garnered by Atiku in the election since he claimed the results were wrongly computed, the witness said he did not calculate the figures directly but computed them through his statistician.

The tribunal adjourned proceedings till June 19.
