“The law says you must get 25% of votes in 2/3 of the states, and only the LP got it” – Aniagwu says

During an interview with Arise , Charles Aniagwu, the spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar campaign council, remarked that what the INEC did during the election process should not be referred to as a glitch since they did not follow the law.

He added that the legislation requires one to get 25% of the vote in two-thirds of the states, and that only the Labour Party received that.

He went on to say that the APC did not achieve that legal criterion and hence should not have been proclaimed the election winner. He accused INEC’s chairman, however, of conspiring with the APC to rig the poll.

“What the INEC did cannot simply be labeled faults,” he says. If the law requires you to upload your findings and then submit them electronically through the BVAS and IREV, and this is required by law rather than something you choose to do, and you did not do so, that cannot be considered a malfunction. If the law states that you must receive 25% of the votes cast in two-thirds of the states and the FCT, and the Labour Party is the only party that received that 25% while the APC did not, and you did not seek proper interpretation from your lawyers to determine whether the party you declare the winner has met the classification as clearly stated in the constitution, and you went ahead and declared the winner while calling it a glitch, that cannot be a glitch.
