The independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has nullified the declaration of Senator Aisha Dahiru, aka Binani, as winner of the Adamawa Governorship election.
INEC also suspended the collation of the Adamawa State Supplementary election.
The commission announced this in a statement issued on Sunday.
Hudu Ari, the Resident Electoral Commission (REC), had declared Senator Aisha Dahiru, aka Binani, as winner of the election under controversial circumstances.
But Festus Okoye, INEC spokesman, overruled him and ordered suspension of the collation.
Okoye said the declaration by the state REC was an usurpation of the power of the Returning Officer.
