The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has since his loss to his major contender, President Muhammadu Buhari refused the result of the elections. To this, he sought for the inspection of the election materials used for the 2019 general elections. He, however, was denied access to it by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement issued by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, last week, he revealed that despite the order given to both entities by the court, INEC has refused to carry out the order. This prompted the spokesperson to the chairman of INEC, Rotimi Oyekanmi, to reveal that INEC will comply with the court directive “if and when the commission receives the order”. He said that: “It is common knowledge that since the declaration of the results of the presidential election, the commission has been busy with the multiple activities associated with the national assembly, governorship, state houses of assembly and federal capital territory elections.  Only last Thursday, the commission presented certificates of return to senators-elect and house of representatives members-elect, including PDP members. Nevertheless, the commission will comply when the due process is followed” he added. Photo Credit: Getty
