The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has reacted to the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to suspend the collation of results in the Adamawa State Governorship election.
Binani
INEC suspended the collation of the result after the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of Adamawa, Professor Hudu Yunus Ari, declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aisha Binani the winner of the state governorship election.
However, moments later, INEC overturned the declaration made by an enthusiastic REC that Binani had won the Adamawa State gubernatorial election.
INEC made this known in a statement on its official Twitter page signed by its National Commissioner, Information & Voter Education, Festus Okoye.
Further Action
Keyamo in reaction to the development said the ruling party awaits further instructions from the electoral body.
