Security has been beefed up at the Adamawa State collation
centre as officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
reconvene days after the commission suspended the exercise.
The Administrative Secretary of the commission in Adamawa,
Adamu Gujungu, who has been mandated to replace the erring Resident Electoral
Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa Ari, was seen at the collation centre.
According to Channels Television, the INEC National
Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee,
Festus Okoye, is expected at the collation centre.
Recall that the electoral umpire had on Sunday suspended
collation for the Saturday supplementary governorship election in the state,
following which Ari announced Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), as the winner of the election over the incumbent, Governor
Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
