If Inec, PDP, AA, APGA and all other political parties don't have a copy of the said result from the 388 poling units, won't anyone with common sense know that, the results Hope Uzodimma presented were forged by himself.

You are not making the right conclusion. AA and APGA have not said they don’t have the results. They never contested the results presented by Hope for the 388 polling units. It is only PDP and INEC that disputed the results. The court then asked them to bring forward their own version of the results that came out of the polling units. Sadly, they couldn’t produce any.

So you see, you cannot accuse someone of forgery except you can produce the original. The police also certified the results presented by Hope as authentic results from the polling units. So, I think it is only right to conclude that PDP and INEC also have the same results but they colluded to render them invalid and deny its existence just to deny Hope is victory and give Ihedioha a fraudulent victory. Even Ihedioha knew he didn’t win the election.

Some of u folks are either ignorant or being intentionally deceptive.
You forget there are people who are paid to dig up and analyze this stuff. The following is from the actual summary of trial materials as presented in a major reputable newspaper. It answers all your questions.
Pay special attention to the bolded.

That Supreme Court Magic Judgment
This Day (Lagos) 17 FEBRUARY 2020

... According to summary of trial materials, no ward collation agent was called to show that at the collation center results were brought from the 388 polling units where the alleged exclusion took place...

The petitioner, rather called 28 polling unit agents who came to identify some of the results tendered by the petitioner from the bar. All the electoral documents were tendered from the bar and thus dumped on the court without anybody giving evidence correlating the contents of the result forms with the tabulation done by the petitioner himself.

Each of the 18 polling unit agents under cross-examination, manifested ignorance of the contents of the documents and never convinced anybody of being present in their claimed polling units...

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that NO RESULTS WERE GENERATED from those polling units as elections in those polling units were cancelled by presiding officers as a result of violence, over voting, snatching of electoral materials, etc. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stated that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates, in this case, the petitioners, must be fake.

When confronted with the purported result sheets tendered by the petitioners, each of the witnesses admitted as follows:
i. The names and signatures of the Presiding Officers are not well found on those results.
ii. The names and signatures of other party agents did not appear on the result sheets, neither could they mention even one party agent of the other political parties in those booths.
iii. The result sheets do not contain the total number of ballot papers used and number of ballot papers unused or invalid. The scores of political parties are not clear on the face of the documents.

Based on the above, it appears the Supreme Court was desperately working to an answer in favour of the ruling party... and the only opening to do that was to accept the fictitious results of the 388 polling units willy-nilly. And instead of doing substantial justice on the matter, it ended up delivering one of judiciary's greatest infamies which even a kid learning arithmetic can see through. The judgment turned logic on its head, rewrote the basic universal laws of arithmetic and did grave and substantial injury to our democracy and the power of the people to choose who governs them. With this judicial precedent, the Supreme Court has inevitably rubber-stamped political rascality and the judgment could shape our democratic future.

The court has widened the opening which politicians exploit and manipulate to get into elective offices. All one needs to do is to stay somewhere, maybe in one's room, probably with one policeman or so, write one's own results, submit to INEC for counting and if it refuses, don't worry, bid your time till you get to the court. With supreme arrogance, the final court of appeal will recognise the results as legitimate, credible and authentic and pronto, you will be declared duly elected.

...Even more perplexing was the fact that in some of the polling units, voter turnout was more than the registered voters. How is this possible?
In Uzodinma's result sheets, there was no voided vote and only two parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC participated and were reflected in the election results of the 388 polling units. Yet, 70 political parties participated in that election and were all reflected in the INEC declared results of other polling units all over the state. ..,Does it mean that other parties such as All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Alliance (AA), etc., did not participate in the election in those 388 polling units contrary to INEC's results in other areas of the state?
Why did the result sheets reflect only two parties when so many parties participated in the said election? Apparently, Senator Uzodinma concocted those results that fly in the face of the basic laws of arithmetic and common sense between the PDP and the APC after the fact that the PDP had won the election and he only scored his party a vote figure higher than the PDP vote. The corollary to that is that if it was any other party that was on the cusp of victory, Uzodinma's results would have been between just the APC and that party! Yet our almighty Supreme Court glossed over all these fundamental anomalies in Uzodinma's result sheets which had been rejected by even INEC... and accepted same as authentic.
A further assessment of the result sheets of the disputed 388 polling units showed that the said units are all in the Orlu Senatorial Zone where Uzodinma and the candidate of the Action Alliance Ugwumba Uche Nwosu come from. So even if the 388 polling units were concentrated mostly in Uzodinma's ancestral home, surely, Nwosu who emerged second in the March 9, 2019 election in Imo State and was backed by the incumbent governor at the time, Rochas Okorocha, his father in-law, must have amassed some votes from the units. But these votes were curiously missing, for the simple reason that they forged the results, and very badly at that.
Furthermore, Uzodinma of the APC scored an average of 98% of the total votes cast in the 388 units, whereas he scored an average of 13% in the remaining polling units in the state. How could this be? Why was it that it was only in these 388 units throughout the state that the voter turnout was either more than the registered voters or achieved 98 to 100 percent of the registered voters? Please note that emphasis is NOT on the number of accredited voters which is usually far less than the number of registered voters. Uzodinma's fake results validated by our Supreme Court defy reason. The pattern of the results from the disputed 388 polling units clearly shows the improbability of such an occurrence. And on the basis of the testimony of one policeman, and 28 discredited polling units' agents who gave contradictory statements at trial, the Supreme Court accepted the results.

In declaring Uzodinma governor of Imo State, the Supreme Court simply annulled a valid mandate freely given to an individual and transferred it to another person who came fourth in the election.

I hail your insight, I must confess

chukel:
So much ignorance here. Everybody who commented above is just basking in ignorance. There are forms EC8a, EC8b, EC8c and EC8d. From the polling units, votes are entered into result sheet called form EC8a. This sheet is taken to the ward collating centre and entered with other polling unit results into form EC8b. EC8b from various wards are taken to LGA collating centre and entered into form EC8c. Then EC8c from various LGAs are used to compute results at state collating office by the REC into form EC8d. For each of these stages, police has a copy. In hope uzodimma's case, results from 388 polling units were entered into their various forms EC8a. But on getting to the ward collating centres, for reasons best known to the collating officers, refused entering those results into form EC8b. That is the basis of this exclusion of result case. Hope uzodinmma retrieved the 388 EC8a forms from the police. The police presented them in court. That should be clear to any unbiased mind.

Still ...

chukel:
supreme court made no mistake. You guys just listen to propaganda. Read through the proceedings of the tribunal and the judgement. The tribunal refused to admit forms EC8A from the 388 polling units as evidence. So they were never tendered in the tribunal. The very first time they were tendered was in the supreme court. This was the reason uzodinmma asked the supreme court to admit the evidence and declare him winner. At the appeal court, the appeal was determined based on technicalities and struck out. I strongly believe ihedioha bribed tribunal judges. But that was his nemesis. If they had admitted the 388 form EC8a evidence at tribunal, there would have been opportunity to thrash out all the issues they are raising now about accredited voters, voter turn and other irregularities. Bringing it up now is pure relitigation. Look at Agabi's appeal, he never spelt out these things cos he knew being direct will lead to striking out the appeal on grounds of relitigation. So he went emotional and sentimental.

Please what are you saying, did you attend any of the hearing starting with the tribunal down to the SC or at least read the transcript of the judgements. Who tendered the EC8a, Inec, Ihedioha or uzodinma? To say the EC8a was only tendered at the SC means you don't even know the basis of your argument cos that has been on the ground which uzodinma argued his case starting from the tribunal. Please read to have your facts before posing an argument.

You are very funny. If an employee and an employer are locked in a certificate case before you as the judge, the university declares they have no record of him in the school and in fact he never attended the school, non one in his supposed graduating class collaborate his claim, except a retired officer in the school security unit with a list claiming the employee did clearance with him when he was still a staff? Will you ever rule such a student graduated based on evidence from a retired staff from the school security dept on issue as important as certificate case?

Who has the burden of proof in such a case? The litigant or the defendant? Isn't the litigant the one who should provide enough evidence to validate his claim and in the case of hope hiss 388 poling units "result"?

Not being able to confirm a certificate isn't that the best way to prove that someone never attended a school and in hopes case, failure to provide their own copy of the result by inec and other parties?

Funny people everywhere.
