President Bola Tinubu challenged the admissibility of certified copies of printouts from the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) documents brought by opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar to the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja. Atiku claimed the evidence covered 33 states of the federation, but the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) opposed the admissibility of the documents. Despite objections, the panel admitted the documents as Exhibits PT 1 to PT 33. The panel admitted presidential election results from Abia state, Bayelsa state, Kaduna state, Ogun state, and Kogi states, as well as bundles of Forms EC8E series from 23 LGAs in Kaduna state. The court also admitted 40 copies of Forms EC40G from the state.
