He added that his legal team has identified over 150 polling units that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, was not deployed.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThere is a lot of data, information, evidence that we have. We are fully confident that going through the tribunal, we will win the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will regain our mandate and we are clear without any doubt that we are the winners of the election last Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t rig. When APC and INEC saw that APC was losing woefully, they then subverted the electoral laws and the guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollations are done at the polling units and then you go to the ward and then the local government collation centre and then the state. There was a jump, from ward straight to the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
