The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano has suspended the collation of governorship election results due to what it called “disturbing report of disrupting collation process at Nasarawa local government by some people that led to the destruction of some election results.”

Kano’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof Riskuwa Arabu Shehu, made this known while addressing journalists at about 4am when the collation session was supposed to resume.

Prof Shehu said the commission could not go on with the collation due to the commotion that took place at the Nasarawa collation centre.
He said the commission will fall back to its primary and secondary sources of data to recollect what was lost during the unfortunate incident.
He added that party agents would be invited to ensure transparency during the recollection of the Nasarawa result.
