The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended the collation of its presidential primary election results.
Announcing the postponement late Tuesday, chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Ikechi Emenike, said the decision would allow Muslim party members to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.
Emenike said collation for the remaining states would commence at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday (today), explaining that some returning officers in the affected states had flight challenges getting to Abuja.
“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate sallah, participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today”, he stated.
Results from 24 states and the FCT had already been announced by various state returning officers, with the remaining 12 states (Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, Kogi, Kano, Akwa-Ibom, Ebonyi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara and the FCT) announced before the postponement.
