Recall that the resident electoral commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa Ari on Sunday under controversial circumstances, declared Binani winner of the governorship election while collation was still in progress.
The declaration sparked controversy even as INEC quickly moved and nullified the announcement. The electoral umpire also suspended the collation of results and summoned the REC to Abuja.
