The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has suspended the Collation of results of supplementary elections in Adamawa state.
INEC in a statement on Sunday by Barr. Festus Okoye, National Commissioner, information and voter education said the declaration of result by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) is an usurpation of the power of returning officer, saying it is null, void and of no effect.
The commission took swipe of the action of the REC, even when the process has clearly not been concluded.
Consequently, the statement said “the REC, Returning Officer and all involved are hereby invited to the commission’s headquarters in Abuja immediately”.
