Prof Muhammed Mele, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Returning Officer for Adamawa State has rejected the manual result sheet from Fufore Local Government Area of the state.
Results from the manual collation indicated that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, polled 21,72, while the All Progressives Congress, APC, scored 26,329.
However, the INEC’s Result Viewing Portal (IReV) showed that the PDP polled 20, 777, while APC got 24,777 votes.
But the state returning officer rejected the results as declared by the LG returning officer and accepted that of the IReV as authentic one.
With this result, Gov Umaru Fintiri has won 13 LGAs, while the APC candidate Aisha Binani has eight LGAs from the twenty-one LGAs in the state.
The APC agents complained about the results and were advised to follow the appropriate channel for their grievances.
