The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the postponement of the collation of the results of its presidential primary election.
Chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Chief Ikechi Emenike, who announced the postponement on Tuesday night, explained that the decision was to allow party members who are Muslims to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.
Emenike however, said that the collation of the remaining states would commence at about 8:00 pm on Wednesday, saying that some returning officers to some states had flights challenges to Abuja.
He further said; “We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate Sallah and participate in the religious activity.
“It would also enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today,” he said.
Emenike further said that already, results from 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have been announced by the various state returning officers, remaining 12 states before the postponement.
He listed the states where results have been announced to include; Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Benue, Borno, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Enugu, FCT, Gombe, Imo, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara.
