Thousands of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Headquarters in Enugu over the delay in declaring the party’s governorship candidate, Peter Mbah, as the winner of Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

The protesters are agitating and saying that the INEC State Collation/Returning Officer and Resident Electoral Commission (REC) have no power to cancel results at this stage as the outcomes have been formally collated and received at the INEC Headquarters in Enugu.

The PDP supporters urged the INEC State Returning Officer should announce the results as collated and any party not satisfied with it should go to the Election Petition Tribunal and challenge the declaration.

They noted that it was the same action that was taken by the INEC Chairman, Yakubu Mahmood did during the collation of Presidential Election on February 25.

The PDP supporters accused Chief Nnia Nwodo, Prof. Barth Nnaji, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo who are rooting for Chijioke Edeoga of Labour Party (LP) of interference in the final announcement of the Enugu State governorship results, which they claim has been won by Peter Ndubuisi Mbah of the PDP, warning that any attempt to disrupt the announcement of the result may lead to anarchy.
