Nigerians Roast INEC On Twitter Over Inconclusive Elections

2 min read

Nigerians took to twitter to express their dissapointment over the declaration of some state elections as inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

INEC declared Kano state governorship electionheld on saturday, march 9 as inconclusive.

The state’s Returning Officer, Bello Shehu said the Commission declared the election inconclusive because the number of cancelled votes is higher than the difference in votes scored between the two leading candidates: Abba Yusuf of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party, and incumbent governor Abdullahi Ganduje of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party.

Announcing the results, Shehu said while the PDP candidate polled 1,014,474 votes, Mr Ganduje of the APC scored 987,819 votes leaving a difference of 26,655 votes.

The state’s Returning Officer also said the total number of votes cancelled across 22 local government areas including Gama ward of Nasarawa local government is 141,694 votes.

The development means Kano has joined a growing list of states where elections have been declared inconclusive. The list includes Benue, Plateau, Adamawa, Bauchi and Sokoto states.

Moments after the news broke, Nigerians, as usual took Twitter to blast the Commission for declaring elections in some states as inconclusive.

Here are some of their reactions below…

@realFFK

Adamawa, Plateau, Kano,
Bauchi and Sokoto declared inconclusive. Rivers and Delta results suspended.

INEC has declared elections inconclusive in 5 states where APC is losing and suspended announcement of results in 3 states where PDP is winning.

Osun State formula ACTIVATED.

“INEC Chairman fought gallantly…” Your enemies are in your midst…

1. Plateau – inconclusive, (PDP leading).
2. Adamawa – inconclusive, (PDP leading).
3. Sokoto – inconclusive, (PDP leading).
4. Bauchi – inconclusive, (PDP leading).
5. Rivers – suspended (PDP won).

Demola Olarewaju@DemolaRewewaju

INEC RECs across various states where PDP won are busy dishing out “inconclusive” this morning.

INEC at the Centre, 2 weeks ago, went ahead with declaring Buhari President, despite not having a full breakdown of results including cancelled areas.

Is this Democracy?

 

Poju@pojugreat

Dapo polled 241,670 votes to defeat Akinlade, governorship candidate of the APM who secured 222,153, leaving a margin of 19,517 votes.

Why wasn’t this inconclusive, cancelled votes not more than 20k? ⁦@inecnigeria⁩ useless meh
