INEC Chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega broke the news yesterday. Besides, he announced the plan for Saturday\u2019s presidential election and did a postmortem of the National Assembly polls.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is true that a Returning Officer absconded with results and the Resident Electoral Commissioner appointed another officer who declared that the results were inconclusive because there were discrepancies and certain areas results were not included.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The officer, who absconded suddenly, reappeared and declared results; there is total confusion really and we are obligated to make thorough investigations. We have asked all those involved in this process to come and appear before an investigative panel with all the documents they have so that we can get to the root of the problem,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
