This is because if they are wiped out, it will affect the substance of the case,\u201d Ikpeazu said.<\/p>\n<p>The electoral body insisted that granting the request by Obi and LP would affect its preparations for the impending governorship and national assembly elections.<\/p>\n<p>It told the court that there are about 176, 000 BVAS that were deployed to polling units during the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>In a motion on notice filed on March 4,  the INEC\u2019s lawyer said granting the orders would \u201ccause a delay in the conduct of the forthcoming governorship election\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach polling unit has its own particular BVAS machine which we need to configure for the forthcoming elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be very difficult for us, within the period, to reconfigure the 176, 000 BVAS for the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have already stated in our affidavit that no information in the BVAS will be lost as we will transfer all the data in the BVAS to our backend server. Our backend server preserves the data. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, granting this application will be a clog in the process and disrupt the conduct of the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emeka Etiaba, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) appeared for Abubakar.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing all the arguments by lawyers, a three-member panel of the court of appeal adjourned the matter to Wednesday for the ruling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has no plans to wipe the results of elections uploaded in the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) The commission said no data would be lost while configuring the BVAS ahead of the governorship and state assembly elections.
