Obi urges INEC to announce Abia, Enugu guber results immediately

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has condemned the continued delay in releasing the governorship results of Abia and Enugu states and urges the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to accelerate their action.

Obi noted that further delay will question the commission’s intent and credibility of the election.

He urged the commission to fast track their review and put an end to the tension.

“Having appealed privately on this matter let me do it publicly, for the imperative of releasing the gubernatorial election results of Abia and Enugu state immediately,” he said.

“I am aware that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, said they are reviewing the collation of the results in these two states. I like to urge them to accelerate their actions as the continued delay is questioning INEC’s intent and the credibility of the election”

Obi expressed disappointment that 48 hours after the election was conducted results are still being delayed.

“It’s disheartening that the Commission is unable to resolve whatever issues that are holding the release of the results,” he said.

“The records of elections from polling units should not be difficult to calculate if the electoral officials are committed to the integrity of the exercise, and the stipulated guidelines.”
