The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has directed the resumption of collation of results of the governorship election in Abia and Enugu states which were earlier suspended.
National Commissioner, Information and Voter Education, Barrister Festus Okoye said in a statement that the commission has concluded the review of the exercise in the two states.
The commission suspended collation of results in Abia state due to what it described as ‘an invasion’ of its collation centre in Obingwa local government area of the state.
