The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has suspended the collation of the Adamawa State governorship election.
The commission announced this in a statement issued on Sunday.
Hudu Ari, the Resident Electoral Commission (REC), had declared Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani, as the winner of the election under controversial circumstances.
But Barr. Festus Okoye, National Commissioner, Information & Voter Education, overruled him and ordered the suspension of the collation.
Idi Hong, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) agent at the collation centre of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Adamawa, has called for the arrest of Hudu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner.
Hong made the call after Ari declared Senator Binani as the winner of the 2023 gubernatorial poll.
“The REC must be arrested over this needless controversy. He lacks the power to do this,” Hong said.
Results were being expected from 10 of the 20 Local Government Areas where the election was held when the REC made the announcement.
