THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will resume collation of results at 11:00 am today, Tuesday, February 28.
This will be the third day of the Presidential Election result collation.
The collation at the International Conference Centre in Abuja ended at 10:00 am on Monday.
The collation will continue despite calls from two of the leading parties in the race — Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) — to suspend the exercise due to INEC’s failure to upload results from the polling units to the result Viewing Portal (IReV).
So far, INEC has received results from Kwara, Osun, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Yobe, Enugu, Lagos, Gombe, Jigawa, Adamawa, Katsina and Nasarawa and Ekiti states.
The candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, won the election in six states: Jigawa, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Kwara, and Ekiti.
The PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, won in five states: Katsina, Adamawa, Gombe, Yobe and Osun.
The LP Candidate, Peter Obi won in Nasarawa, Lagos and Enugu.
Meanwhile, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, did not win in any of the states that have been submitted to INEC.
