The spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate in the last general elections, Atiku Abubakar, of hacking into the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Nabena made the allegation on Wednesday in response to the claim by the PDP that Atiku Abubakar actually won the 2019 election from what the INEC server showed.
The APC spokesman wondered how the opposition political party could have gotten the figures without hacking into it.
Nabena wrote on his Twitter handle: “Just tell me how Atiku and the PDP would bring out figures from INEC server without having access to it.
“Atiku recruited RUSSIAN HACKERS for #NigeriaDecides2019. But, GOD pass them.”
The PDP national legal adviser, Emmanuel Enoidem, had claimed that, PDP in the petition to the election tribunal requested that Atiku be declared the winner of last month’s presidential election.
He stated in the party’s 139-page petition that, “From the data in the 1st respondent’s (INEC’s) server the true, actual and correct results from state to state computation, showed that Atiku polled a total of 18,356,732 votes to defeat Buhari whom they said scored 16,741,430 votes.”
