This news platform had reported that INEC suspended the collation of results in Abia over violence and the invasion of one of its offices in Abia.
But Obi said further delay of announcement of results would delay the commission’s intent and credibility of the election.
Obi urged the commission to fast-track the review and quench the anxiety of Nigerians particularly citizens of the two states.
“Having appealed privately on this matter let me do it publicly, for the imperative of releasing the gubernatorial election results of Abia and Enugu state immediately.
“I am aware that the INEC said they are reviewing the collation of the results in these two states. I like to urge them to accelerate their actions as the continued delay is questioning INEC’s intent and the credibility of the election.
“It is disheartening that the commission is unable to resolve whatever issues that are holding the release of the results.
