The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar says the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) lied about its server failure in the February 25, 2023, election.
The claim was contained in a 66-page petition by Atiku and PDP presented before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
The petitioners vowed to prove their claim at the Court of Appeal’s sitting in Abuja.

They argued that the cloud-based “server,” would have seamlessly switched to another server without hitch, being autoscaling groups with multiple network reception and offline upload options.
The petition read:
“The petitioners contend that the technology system deployed by the 1st Respondent underwent Quality Assurance Tests (“QAT”) before acquisition and deployment.
“The 1st Respondent is, hereby, given notice to produce the QAT Report that was prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, PwC, as well as the Report of Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing, VAPT, by Consultant Suleiman Farouk of Sulfman Consulting Limited and all other subsequent and related reports on the system.
“The petitioners contend that the so-called ‘glitch’ was a bypass to tilt and switch the results of the presidential election in favour of the 2nd and 3rd Respondents.”
