Expect final presidential results on Tuesday, says INEC

Strong indication has emerged suggesting that the final set of states presidential election results that will determine the exact winner of the Nigerian presidential election held Saturday, February 23rd, 2019 may be announced Tuesday morning.

On the possible time for the final presidential results, a top official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who spoke on grounds of anonymity in a telephone interview averred that “Considering some levels of logistics in some distant states, many will arrive the Abuja presidential collation centre later today and before they will be ready to deliver their results, it will be approaching mid night to early tomorrow morning”.

As at 3.00PM, only two states results have been announced including Osun where the APC polled 347,634, and PDP polled 337,377, while in Ekiti State, APC polled 219,231 while the PDP gathered 154,032.

They argued that the pattern of voting displaced by Nigerians in terms of choice of candidate across the state is very hard to predict a winner until the very last state is announced and winner declared by INEC chairman.
