INEC was also ordered by the three-member tribunal which had two-members at the Monday session to release the Certified True Copies of the election results.

The tribunal’s action followed the “very urgent” application filed by the PDP counsels on Monday April 1, 2019, requesting the tribunal to compel INEC to release the documents for inspection.
