If the initial results wouldn’t be affected why go ahead with the wastage of our resources in the guise of conducting supplementary presidential elections

They are playing themselves. So they were aware of all this abnormally and still went ahead to declare buhari as the winner. I think @atiku decision to go to court is the reason for this rubbish.
