The Labour Party‘s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed anxiety over the delay by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release results of the March 18 governorship elections in Abia and Enugu.
He said in a statement on Tuesday, “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.”

Obi expressed disappointment that days after the Abia and Enugu elections were conducted results are still being delayed.
“It’s disheartening that the Commission is unable to resolve whatever issues that are holding the release of the results.
“The records of elections from polling units should not be difficult to calculate if the electoral officials are committed to the integrity of the exercise, and the stipulated guidelines,” he said.
