ADC suspends collation of presidential primary results
The African Democratic Congress has suspended the collation of its presidential primary election results.
Announcing the postponement late Tuesday, Ikechi Emenike, chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, said the decision would allow Muslim party members to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.
Mr Emenike said collation for the remaining states would commence at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday (today), explaining that some returning officers in the affected states had flight challenges getting to Abuja.
“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate sallah, participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today,” Mr Emenike stated.
Results from 24 states and the FCT had already been announced by various state returning officers, with the remaining 12 states (Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, Kogi, Kano, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara and the FCT) announced before the postponement.
