There was uproar at the Prof. Mahmood Yakubu Conference Hall, at the INEC Headquarters, Bauchi, venue of the collation of results of Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area on Sunday evening.

Confusion started when the State Returning Officer of the governorship election, Prof. Kyari Mohammed, called the Collation Officer of Alkaleri LGA to step forward and announce the results alongside him.

Immediately, an agent of the PPC, Col. Umar Tilde, raised an observation that there was no collation in Alkaleri Local Government Area.

The Returning Officer then asked the Collation Officer, Dominion Anosike, to explain what happened and she shocked the gathering when she said that she announced the results under duress.

She said there was violence at the Local Government Collation Centre and election materials were carted away; adding, “Police had to rescue us because our lives were at stake.”

“We started collation of the results at 11pm on Saturday and after collating results of six wards, some hoodlums stormed the area around 6am and insisted that we must announce the candidate of a particular party as the winner.

“I had to announce the results under duress because they insisted that we must announce it.

“Since the results were carted away, I had to announce the result we had in a laptop after comparing it with the results of the agents at the centre,” Anosike alleged.

Anosike further explained that with the kind of violence there and the pressure, she had to announce it like that.

She insisted that the final results she wanted to announce was genuine but this further threw the Collation Center into an uproar.

Tilde, again stood up and insisted that: “the result she announced there was given to her from a laptop. We will not accept it.”

The Returning Officer, Prof. Kyari, then intervened and said that since Anosike said the results were genuine, having been brought from the polling units to the Ward and the Local Government Collation Centre, he will give a final verdict later.

He called the Collation Officer of another Local Government to step forward and announce his results.

After that, the session went for a 45 minutes’ break for the problem to be sorted out.

The worst election I have ever seen

There were killings all over the country. Ballot boxes were snatched with the help if the military and police.
Nigeria elections had never been these worst.
It's a shame on the federal govt. In terms of conducting election, Nigeria has taken 20 steps backwards.

Who are they deceiving Nigeria politics is scam. I pity people who fight for them

Buhari the systematic failure. Just watch and see d next level of suffering

I thought sai baba Zombies said there was a peaceful atmosphere in the north during the election than in the SS and SE?


Lols Buhari and INEC made it compulsory that a winner must come out no matter how things were done......

Now we have many dead people because of the devil in Aso rock

Even in KAstina State...a police.man was shot dead
Next level is coming .....wear your seat belt

I just pity the innocent & sacrificial souls still going out to vote in Nigeria thinking they are performing their civil rights, This presidential election was the last for me, Election in this Country is like a war zone..... Nonsense and APC

Not Alkaleri but Tafawa Balewa LGA. Please correct the heading and listen to news before you post...

Nigeria is gone.

TechtraGadgets:
But nothing will be done about it

it was stepped down

The inec staff did well, in a bid to be fair to all parties involved that results for Tafawa belewa was cancelled..... I think that's fair enough.

TechtraGadgets:
But nothing will be done about it

It was cancelled and I think that was fair enough

It wouldn't be fair to the person who truly won there. Anyway they will keep it in view and declare the election inconclusive and then those thugs that came would strategize to execute their evil plot perfectly in the rerun.

Nothing compared to what happened in the animal south. Especially Rivers where they just want to write results from government house.

Why can’t Apc/buahri maintain
Simple law and order during these elections?

Must they do election on all these war/terrorist zones? Why can't they just appoint an interim?

Ok

@mod please correct the heading... The reference collation officer MrsDominion Anosike served in Tafawa/Balewa LGA where election was canceled not Alkaleri LGA.. There was no any violent or disruption in Alkaleri LGA.. Please correct this not to miss lead readers. Thank you

Nice use of charcoal in this shot dude

This is after PDP failed to put up an efficient process like that of South Africa for good 16 years it ruined Nigeria. Every PDP member n their supporters need to be stoned for blaming Buhari for what they failed to do over a decade.
