In a statement via social media,The Director, Public Affairs of the APC PCC,Mr Festus Keyamo queried the rationale behind INEC issuing a certified copy containing incomplete information to the APC.

BVAS Data are expected to be received real -time. Nigerians are not fools ” he said.
The controversy on BVAS comes a few days after the Election Petitions Tribunal for Osun State sacked the sitting governor Adenoma Adeleke and declared his predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola as the authentic winner of the July 16 Gubernatorial election.
