An election monitoring group, Yiaga Africa, on Tuesday asked the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately resume collation and declare the official results of the Adamawa supplementary governorship election.
The group advised the electoral agency to resume collation and conclude the process based on results announced at the polling units and uploaded on the IReV portal on Saturday.
This position was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Chair, Watching The Vote Working Group, and its Executive Director Dr Hussain Abdu and Samson Itodo respectively.
It frowned at the conduct of the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commission which it described as inimical to democracy.
The election observer body also recommended that President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senate should initiate removal proceedings against the Adamawa REC in defence of the Constitution, the independence of INEC, and the overall integrity of the electoral process.
