Obi Worried Over Delayed Release Of Abia, Enugu Govenorship Results

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party has expressed concern over the dithering procrastination in the release of the results of the governorship election in Enugu and Abia States saying that there was no justification for the continuing delay.

GWG.ng reports that the delay has generated agitation in the polity especially given claims by Obi and Labour party that the party was in the lead in the two states before the suspension of the release of the results.

He said:

“Having carefully followed the unfolding Events relating to the Gubernatorial Elections in the above two States, let me categorically emphasize the imperative of releasing the Gubernatorial Election Results of Abia and Enugu States immediately.

“I am aware that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said they are reviewing the Collation of the Results in these two States. However, I would like to urge them to accelerate action on this, as their continued delay is questioning INEC’s intent and the credibility of the Election.

“Forty-Eight hours after the Elections were conducted, it is disheartening that the Commission is yet to resolve whatever Issues that are holding back the release of the Results.

“The Records of the Elections from Polling Units should not be difficult to calculate, if the Electoral Officials are committed to the integrity of the Exercise in line with the stipulated Guidelines,” Obi said in calling for the immediate release of the Enugu and Abia States results.
