The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar in the just-completed presidential election has given a breakdown of the number of votes he believed he scored in each of the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory as opposed to that which was announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Mr Abubakar released the figures in his
petition against the outcome of the election filed on Monday, which
challenges the declaration of Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives
Congress as the winner of the election.

On February 27, INEC
declared that Mr Buhari won the election in 19 states with a total of
15,191,847 votes to defeat Mr Abubakar, who won the election in 18
states polling a total of 11,262,978 votes.

However, in this
petition, Mr Abubakar claimed that the “true, actual and correct”
results upon state by state computation pitched him as the winner in 21
states, excluding the results from Rivers State, which he said was not
available on INEC’s server as at February 25, when the computation was
made. He, thus, claims that Mr Buhari only won the election in 15
states.

Mr Abubakar said the “state to state computation” showed
that he polled a total of 18,356,732 votes to defeat Mr Buhari whom he
said scored 16,741,430 votes.

“The 1st Respondent wrongly and
unlawfully credited the 2nd Respondent with votes which were not valid
or lawful votes at various stages of the election, namely, at the
polling units, the ward collating centres, local government collating
centres and the State collating centres, with the result that the 2nd
Respondent was wrongly returned when the said 2nd Respondent did not
score majority of lawful votes,” he wrote.

“The Petitioners shall
also call evidence of statisticians forensic examiners and finger-print
experts at the hearing of the Petition to establish that the scores
credited the 2nd Respondent were not the product of actual votes validly
cast at the polling units. The Petitioners plead and shall rely on
electronic video recordings, newspaper reports, photographs and
photographic images of several infractions of the electoral process by
the Respondents.

“The Petitioners plead, state and contend that
from the data in the 1st Respondent’s Server, as between the 1st
Petitioner and the 2nd Respondent, the true, actual and correct results
upon a State to State computation are as reflected under the scores of
the 1st Petitioner and the 2nd Respondent,” he added.

The APC has
since reacted to Mr Abubakar’s petition saying he and the PDP were
suffering from hallucinations after the election defeat.

“Judging
by Atiku and PDP’s recent utterances and actions, it is now clear that
they have slipped into severe depression and post-defeat hallucination
that have left many Nigerians questioning their current state of mind,”
the ruling party said in a statement on Wednesday.
