Just In: Confusion as INEC REC Declares APC’s Binani Winner of Adamawa Guber Poll

There is confusion about the outcome of the Adamawa governorship Supplementary Elections following the declaration of the candidate of the All Progressives Congrees, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Binani, as the winner of the election by the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state, Barrister Hudu Yunusa.

As at 1am Sunday, INEC had adjourned collation till 11am to enable the arrival of results from 10 local government areas. However, at about 8am on Sunday, three hours before the scheduled resumption of collation, the  REC, accompanied by security operatives, arrived the collation centre and invited journalists around to join him for an address. 

Despite not being the state returning officer, constitutionally mandated to declare outcome of governorship election, he was said to have brought out a paper from his pocket and declared the APC candidate, Binani,  winner of the election.
