So many contrasting news have been flying regarding the appeal court order in Abuja today.
You’d recall that Peter Obi arrived the appeal court in Abuja ( video) by 1:30pm ahead of the slated court that was supposed to start by 2pm. It was only by 4pm that the judges arrived.

Finally, appeal Court granted Peter Obi permission to inspect the INEC materials used in last Election.
Labour party were granted access to inspect BVAS & will get issued certified copy of contents BEFORE reconfiguring. Contents on the BVAS would be backed up.
The Court of Appeal granted INEC’s request because the electoral body said all data in BVAS machines would be transferred to a back end server before they are reconfigured and will not be tampered with.
The court also ordered INEC to allow the Applicants to inspect and carry out digital forensic examination of all the electoral materials used in the conduct of the elections, as well as to avail them the Certified True Copies, of result of the physical inspection of the BVAS.
Appeal Court also granted INEC permission to reconfigure BVAS as INEC swore an affidavit that the BVAS will be backed up in a safe tamper-proof server.
INEC definitely can’t be trusted in this instance but i hope that the Labour Party team know what steps to take.
Meanwhile, where are PDP guys in all of these? Why are they not pushing as well?……
More details to come shortly..
