INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION

PRESS RELEASE

SUSPENSION OF ELECTION IN SOME LOCATIONS IN KOGI STATE

The Commission has received reports from our officials in Kogi State on incidences of electoral malpractices, particularly the incident of result sheets completed before voting.

Reports indicate that the incidents occurred in Adavi, Ajaokuta, Ogori/Magongo, Okehi and Okene Local Government Areas. The most serious incidents occurred in Ogori/Magongo, affecting nine of 10 Registration Areas.

This is entirely unacceptable. Any result not emanating from the Commission's process in the Polling Units will not be accepted.

The Commission is determined not to reward bad behaviour. Consequently, the election in the nine Wards in Ogori/Magongo LGA (Eni, Okibo, Okesi, Ileteju, Aiyeromi, Ugugu, Obinoyin, Obatgben and Oturu) is at this moment suspended. The incidences in the other Local Government Areas are being thoroughly investigated, and the outcome, including the way forward, will be announced in the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, as the processes continue, we follow the audit trail of personnel and materials to ascertain those who may have been complicit in undermining the process. We have a record of all officials deployed at various levels as supervisors, monitors, technical staff or polling unit officials and all election materials issued to them. Appropriate sanctions will be applied where necessary.

The Commission assures voters in Kogi State that their votes are protected, and their wishes will be respected.

Shut up and don't be foolish all the days of your life.

You commend when the right thing is done and criticise reasonably when they go astray.

But ipob terrorists are always irrational with their thinking so I'll not blame you much.

TruthsFM:
Good one from INEC. Almost all the 5 LG where Dino said where irregularities happened will be cancelled.

We are not matured yet.

We are not matured yet.

we aren’t matured for the democracy yet ooo. A lot of Okene results will be cancelled too

Claptrap
Inec is always forming Saint and giving a lifeline to riggers.
If results are cancelled in those LGs, it makes it easier for APC to manipulate whatever margin they are behind with at the end of today

Too bad
