Others were Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo, Taraba, Osun, Kano, Katsina, Kwara, Gombe, Yobe, and Niger.

The presidential candidate argued there was a wrong computation of numbers, and overcoming for the President-elect, Tinubu.

Obi said:

In Plateau and seven others and other states of the federation, the votes recorded for the 2nd respondent (Mr Tinubu) did not comply with the legitimate process for computation of the result and disfavoured the petitioner.”

According to him, the overvoting occurred in Taraba and Borno, the home state of Tinubu’s running mate and vice-president-elect, Kashim Shettima.

Obi claimed his forensic analysis of the electoral materials used for the election showed that votes cast in the polling units “exceeded the number of voters accredited on the BVAS in those states.”

The development was not included in the body of the petition available to the public in a referenced forensic analysis report, which was in detail, according to petitioners.
