The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Sunday declared Shem Zagbai of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, winner of the Niger East Senatorial by-election after a re-run.
The August 30 by-election was declared inconclusive due to electoral malpractice in some polling units.
The re-run was held in polling units in Bosso, Chanchaga, Munya, Paikoro, Rafi and Shiroro local government areas on Saturday.
The returning Officer for the election, Morenikeji Olakonmi, who announced the results in Minna, said that Mr. Zagbai scored 92, 056 votes against David Umaru of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who polled 87, 405 votes.
He said Isa Bello of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and Abdulahi Diko of Social Democratic Party scored 2,185 and 419 votes respectively.
“We have come to the conclusion of the collation. I, Prof. Morenike Olakonmi, hereby certify that I was the Returning Officer for Niger East Senatorial District by-election held on the 6th day of September 2014.
“That Dr Shem Zagbai of the PDP, having satisfied the requirements of the law and scored the highest number of votes, is hereby declared the winner,’’ he said.

Thank God

Jona ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Close polls...

But the APC (Asiwaju Personal Congress) was celebrating na.... Nairaland Gbawe, Berem and other paid e-supporters were celebrating already. They could have started a riot with the false figure we were getting on Nairaland like their man Buhari in 2011. They were also planning to use the social media to rig the election like Tinubu ole has been doing in Lagos since democracy. But God pass them!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Another evidence to prove that APC thrives on propaganda and don't mean well for Nigerians...bunch of wicked people....

i've always been non partisan. Only that i do attack GEJ for his mild and clueless attitudes. That still doesn't mean i shouldn't praise him when needed.
