He also alleged that “votes were not counted when it was realised that the petitioners had the upper hand.

“They did not count the votes at the unit and wards,” he said.

He said his polling agents did not sign the Form EC8A, the polling unit result sheets, “because they were chased away”.

But he said he signed the Form EC8C, the local government result sheet, at the local government area collation centre in order to be able to collect a copy as evidence. (Punchng)
