The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano has suspended the collation of results for the Saturday’s Governorship election.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Riskuwa Arab-Shehu announced this after the collation of results from the 43 out of the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.

The INEC Commissioner said the suspension
was necessary because of reports of the
security challenges from the only local government left to be announced in the governorship elections results.





News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the State’s Deputy Governor, Alhaji Nasir Gawuna, and the Commissioner of Local Governments, Murtala Sule-Garo were arrested for allegedly trying to disrupt the collation of the election results.


The Chairman of Nasarawa Local Government, Alhaji Lamin Sani was also arrested by the police.

According to the REC, the results were snatched away from the collation centre, and that the electoral body will refer to its primary and secondary data base to generate the result from the polling units and wards.

Arab-Shehu explained that INEC will generate the result, verify and consider those that are acceptable within the electoral law.

He added that party agents would be invited for the verification of the results to ensure transparency during the regeneration of the results

The happenings in this election is a strong pointer that the elections are not credible. The whole blame must rest on the ruling party, their body language speaks volume.
It appears to me we have lost it as nation, and calls for collective action to save whatever remains now before it goes beyond redemption.

Save Nigeria Now!!

Not possible , it is clear that Kano people don't want next level of dollar pocketing

This is serious...

APC have come again. nasarawa results that we have heard since yesterday with 30k margin won by PDP.. how come I wake up this morning and they are still on nasarawa, are we in 3D world when you can just switch everything back and rewrite false numbers..

truly kwakwoso have showed he own KANU. will the APC be able to do magic on the remaining local government?

Ganduje should rest abeg. It's obvious the people no longer want him. Power belongs to the people.

It's sad tho because APC needed Kano but, it is what it is.

If they like they should declare it inconclusive because of Nasarawa local government. That place is a PDP stronghold... Let them bring it on. Kano boyz are ready for them...
