The collation of Adamawa governorship election results from Local Government Areas has been postponed until noon by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Prof. Mohammed Mele, the state Collation Officer, and Mr Yakubu Ari, the Adamawa Resident Electoral Commissioner, announced this on Monday, following the collation of results from 20 of the 21 LGAs.
He stated that the exercise was postponed to allow for the verification of the snatched results from the Fufore Local Government Area.
Shortly before the shift, agents of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress urged INEC to ensure justice in the collation of the results before the declaration.
NAN reports that security agencies were also deployed to major roads in the state capital to ensure security following a protest by some political thugs in the metropolis after the adjournment.
