Polls UPDATE: Kebbi Central Wondering As INEC Delayed Results Announcement

There were anxiety and palpable fear over the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare Kebbi Central Senatorial election results since the exercise was held on February 25, 2023.

The development, which was occasioned by outstanding election results in one ward of the Senatorial District, has led to the abeyance of all results in the eight local government areas making up the Kebbi Central senatorial zone. Since 2:00am on Sunday.

The Ward in question has only just over 6,000 accredited voters. In the same ward, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has copied of all results from polling units of that ward but only holding on for an INEC worker to come out from hiding to present his ward result.

There were fears about possible breakdown of law and border if the will of the people isn’t allowed to prevail.

The Kebbi State governor, Atiku Bagudu, who’s a aspirant in the Kebbi Central Central District election, was accused of hiding the official in question.

Not several people were wondering over the reason of holding the whole state to ransom with a single ward affect that can not change the outcome of Bagudu’s failure.
