INEC To Resume Collation Of Abia State Governorship Results

The Independent National Electoral Commission will resume results collation of the Abia State governorship election by 4:00pm on Wednesday at its Umuahia headquarters after officials had gone to Abuja for clarification.

The Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs. Rebecca Jim, who confirmed that the Presiding Officer and Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Owerri, FUTO, Professor Nnenna Otti; and the State Administrative Secretary, Clement Oha, who were invited to the INEC headquarters Abuja, over the controversy from the Obingwa results, were on their way back to the state, to complete the process.

Recall that Abia has been soaked with tension since the logjam started with protests and growing calls among residents for INEC to declare the winner of the contest and not allow the will of the people to be subverted.
