It remains to be seen how the Presidential Election Petition Court will respond to Hamza’s testimony. If his claims are found to be true, it could have significant implications for the outcome of the election. The case highlights the importance of ensuring free and fair elections, and the need for transparency in the electoral process.
Hamza’s testimony raises questions about the credibility of the election results in Nasarawa State. His claim that the Labour Party could not have won if the election was free and fair suggests that there may have been irregularities or malpractices during the election. The fact that he has the authentic result with the National Collation Agent of the PDP further adds to the suspicion surrounding the election.
During the Presidential Election Petition Court hearing, Ibrahim Hamza, a witness for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), claimed that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, did not win in Nasarawa State. Hamza, who served as PDP’s State Collation Agent during the election held on February 25th, stated that if the election was free and fair, Obi would not have won in his state.
He added; “I am not happy with the result. I don’t want the court to accept this result. Labour Party cannot come first in Nasarawa State. That is impossible..we have the authentic result. It is with the National Collation Agent (of the PDP)”
Expressing his dissatisfaction with the result, Hamza stated that he did not want the court to accept it. He believed that it was impossible for the Labour Party to come first in Nasarawa State, and that the PDP had the authentic result. According to Hamza, the authentic result was with the National Collation Agent of the PDP.
