The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed the collation of its presidential primary election results.
The Chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Chief Ikechi Emenike, said this in the late hours of Tuesday.
He said the decision was to allow party members who are Muslims to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir.
Emenike said the collation for the remaining states would commence at 8pm on Wednesday (today), explaining that some returning officers had flight challenges to Abuja.
He said: “We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate Sallah participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that results from 24 states and FCT had already been announced by various state returning officers, remaining 12 states before the postponement.
The states include Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, and Kogi.
Others are Kano, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi , Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara, and the FCT.
