Adamawa Guber Polls: INEC National Commissioners Meet Behind Closed Doors
All National Commissioners of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are currently meeting behind closed doors at their national headquarters in Abuja.
The meeting is coming after INEC suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa Ari.
Before the suspension, Ari had caused a major uproar after he announced Aisha Binani of the All Progressives Congress,(APC) winner of the Adamawa governorship election on Sunday while collation was ongoing.
10 local government areas had been announced and Binani was trailing both the incumbent governor and the PDP candidate, Ahmadu Fintiri before the collation exercise was suspended on Saturday.
However, INEC swiftly denounced the declaration and suspended the collation of results of the supplementary election.
The electoral umpire further summoned the REC to Abuja with immediate effect and eventually suspended him.
