Despite disputing the stated results of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Captain Joe Agada and Captain Joe Agada, the PDP candidates for Atiku Abubakar, agreed to signing the results of the presidential election on February 25. Over 20 voting places allegedly had irregularities, and the majority of PDP agents allegedly refused to sign the results. He stated he was compelled to sign since failing to do so would result in his party not receiving a copy. Agada, the witness, said that he didn't express his complaints about the election. He based his report on his own observations as well as data from other party agents. Collation Officer Dr. Solarin Adekunle alleged that President Tinubu and the APC had the election results rigged in their favour.

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.
