The election petition tribunal in Owerri, Imo State, on Tuesday admitted the evidences, including the Back End Report tendered by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Ifeanyi Araraume, through his lawyer, Awa Kalu.
Addressing reporters after the court session, Araraume expressed satisfaction over the acceptance of the INEC Back End report by the tribunal.
He said “with the report tendered, all illegal registration not done electronically would be quashed.
“We tendered all evidences ranging from voters register, declaration sheets and card reader back end report from INEC. Back End Report is very critical because in the guidelines issued by INEC, the only means of accreditation is by electronic, no room for manual accreditation. INEC guideline says the only means of accreditation is through card reader showing total accreditation in each of the polling units.
“At Aboh Mbaise, for instance, where Emeka returned 64,000 votes to himself, but there was 22,328 total votes from everybody, either void or not, how come he gave himself 64,000 votes? If you calculate the vote a portion to other people, it came to about 72,000, while the total accreditation in that local government is 22,328; that was a big fraud, so there was no election in Imo State, ditto Ahiazu Mbaise, ditto Ezinihite Mbaise.”
