Results from about 95 polling units, representing about 5.87 per cent, were yet to be uploaded within the period under review.
There were no results in some polling units either because the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System malfunctioned or people did not come out to cast their votes, as observed at Ake Hostel UNIPORT Polling Unit in Choba Ward.
Our Reporters gathered that Obi was leading Tinubu with over 23,000 votes by the time INEC announced the presidential election results in 21 of the 23 local government areas in the state.
There were allegations that the State Governor, Nyesom Wike, who is a member of the PDP, led other PDP governors to rebel against the national leadership of the party and its presidential candidate, Atiku, following disagreement over which of the north or the south should produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
Wike allegedly helped to alter and manipulate results in some polling units in favour of Tinubu. Collation of results from PU was suspended while some were controlled by thugs.
This Online News Media reported that Tinubu was later declared winner of the election. Atiku came second while Obi came third.
