The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed the collation of results from its presidential primary election.
The announcement was made late Tuesday night by the Chairman of the party’s Presidential Primary Election Committee, Chief Ikechi Emenike, who said the decision was taken to allow Muslim members of the party observe the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
According to Emenike, the collation of results from the remaining states will now resume by 8 p.m. today.
He explained that the delay was also caused by logistical challenges, noting that some returning officers from affected states were unable to arrive in Abuja on schedule due to flight disruptions.
“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters celebrate Sallah participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja latter today,” Emenike stated.
Before the postponement was announced, results from 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory had already been declared by various state returning officers, while collation from the remaining 12 states was still pending.
The states where results had been announced include Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, and Kogi.
Others are Kano, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara, and the FCT.
