Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has insisted the result from the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shows he defeated President Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential election.

In his submission to the presidential election tribunal, the former vice president gave the “unique MAC address and Microsoft product ID of the INEC server” from where the results were obtained.

According to the result declared by INEC from the 36 states and the FCT, Buhari polled 15,191,847, while Atiku came second with 11,262,978 votes.

But in his petition submitted at the tribunal, the PDP candidate claimed he garnered a total of 18,356,732 votes to defeat Buhari, who, according to him, polled 16,741,430 votes.

INEC, in response, said the results being paraded by Abubakar is fabricated and not from its website.

But in their response to the INEC’s submission, a copy of which was obtained by TheCable, Abubakar and the PDP said address of the server from which the results were obtained are unique to INEC.

“The Servers from which the said figures were derived belong to the first Respondent (INEC). The figures and votes were transmitted to the first Respondent’s Presidential Result’s Server 1 and thereafter aggregated in INEC_PRES_RSLT_SRV2019, whose Physical Address or unique Mac Address is 94-57-A5-DC-64-B9 with Microsoft Product ID 00252-7000000000-AA535. The above descriptions are unique to the 15t Respondent’s Server,” they said.

“There is no conjecture in the votes and scores in the table pleaded by the Petitioners. The figures are factual. The Spokesperson for the 2nd Respondent’s Campaign Organization openly admitted that the data in question was in the first Respondent’s Server when he wrote and submitted a petition to the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) asking the Security agencies to investigate the 2nd Petitioner herein for allegedly hacking into the Server of the 1St Respondent and obtaining the data in question.

“Specifically, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, the Spokesperson of the 2nd Respondent claimed in the said petition that it was the first Petitioner who smuggled the data into the Server.”

Atiku and the PDP also alleged the INEC chairman “committed grave errors in the final collation exercise” for the election by “falsely crediting” some persons with political parties, including “Okotie Christopher, Reverend Dr. Onwubuya and Ojinika Jeff Chinze.”

“The grave errors referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above were under the hands and signature of the first Respondent’s Chairman, (who was also the Returning Officer) in the conduct of the final collation of the results of the Presidential Election,” they added.

“The Petitioners state that the final results as declared by the first respondent are those that were transmitted online to the website of the first Respondent (www inecnigeria.org).”

Any network device will have a mac address, there is nothing brilliant about quoting mac address on server. All network devices use mac address for reference and it is absolute, meaning whether the device is connected and online or just sitting idle on a shelf...or even in the bottom of a refuse pile....it will have mac address.

If the server is a microsoft server yes it will have microsoft product ID. If its Apple it should not have microsoft ID, so again this is no brainer.

If Atiku wants to impress on the truthfullness of his claim he should present a IP tracker (IPtracer) highlighting the path from his remote probe to the INEC server and announcing the number of hops and the corresponding IP addresses of each hop and the host mac address.

If thats not available his network engineers should have known that wireshark capture would be very invaluable for forensic evidence to support their stance....and ahould have made sure they have that handy.

Where is tracert and where is wireshark...or any packet capture to prove forensic evidence that the INEC server was online and accessible via wan access as claimed?

Yawns

INEC: Data not from our server.

Festus: Data uploaded to INEC server by PDP

Atiku is as foolish as any PDP supporters you meet on NL. The like of pachukwudi77 & many other readily come to mind.

Anytime you are in court on internet related matter or even just network devices, whether ethernet or wireless, forensic evidence is the bible!

Atiku has no forensic evidence to back his claims. All the evidence in his hands are standalone identifiers, no WAN identifiers are presented to substantiate that results were transmitted via WAN connection to the server.

A best analogy of this will be for me to take us back to the days of envelope, stamps and postage. Way before internet!

So lets say results from polling units and wards were tucked into an envelope and wax sealed with INEC logo and then hand delivered by INEC staff to INEC polling center where the wax seal was verified for authenticity and then broken to reveal the ballot count in the envelope and tallied.

All the tallies for Buhari was 15million, for Atiku 11million, other candidates had their corresponding tallies as well.


Atiku now goes to court and says he was able to intercept the envelopes at the post office and he counted all the envelopes with PDP logo on it and the ones with APC logo on it and his score is 18million and Buhari had 16million.

Anybody that has ever received mail through postage knows that on the stamp on the envelope there is a red seal that carries the post office authentication and validates that the accurate tax has been paid on that mail.


INEC said its envelopea never went through post office and did not carry the postal stamp.

Atiku says its a lie we can prove that the envelopes from the wards were mailed through post office to INEC center.

When asked to provide proof he brings out envelopes with postage stamp but does not have the post office seal of tax payment. So how was it mailed if no post office stamped it?

Atiku has a dilemma in his hands o!

Headlines says exactly what Zombies and APC are feeling..

Absolute Dilemma

He need to apply for Nigeria citizenship first , he’s not qualified. Zombie quote me and Sango visit you !
