Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, said he was at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the early of Sunday for information on what was stalling the collation of results of the governorship election.
In a press conference alongside Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa; and Asue Ighodalo, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, Obaseki said it was after he left the INEC office that the commission issued a statement to say it had postponed collation to 10am.
Fintiri reeled out results of some polling units and local governments, stating that the results were those available in the public domain, and that he was not usurping the powers of the electoral umpire by his action.
“I did not announce results, I only informed the public on the exact figure from our collation agent that was ongoing before INEC disrupted the process… INEC should be accused of violating the Elctoral Act, not me,” Fintiri said.
