INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION

PRESS RELEASE

SUSPENSION OF ELECTION IN SOME LOCATIONS IN KOGI STATE

The Commission has received reports from our officials in Kogi State on incidences of electoral malpractices, particularly the incident of result sheets completed before voting.

Reports indicate that the incidents occurred in Adavi, Ajaokuta, Ogori/Magongo, Okehi and Okene Local Government Areas. The most serious incidents occurred in Ogori/Magongo, affecting nine of 10 Registration Areas.

This is entirely unacceptable. Any result not emanating from the Commission's process in the Polling Units will not be accepted.

The Commission is determined not to reward bad behaviour. Consequently, the election in the nine Wards in Ogori/Magongo LGA (Eni, Okibo, Okesi, Ileteju, Aiyeromi, Ugugu, Obinoyin, Obatgben and Oturu) is at this moment suspended. The incidences in the other Local Government Areas are being thoroughly investigated, and the outcome, including the way forward, will be announced in the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, as the processes continue, we follow the audit trail of personnel and materials to ascertain those who may have been complicit in undermining the process. We have a record of all officials deployed at various levels as supervisors, monitors, technical staff or polling unit officials and all election materials issued to them. Appropriate sanctions will be applied where necessary.

The Commission assures voters in Kogi State that their votes are protected, and their wishes will be respected.

Good one from INEC. All what Dino said in the morning is 100% truths. Now most of the forged Okene results will be cancelled and rejected by Inec too

Hope is coasting home to victory

Complicit staff should always be investigated and punished, if found guilty, to serve as a deterrent to others.

Lol
Election fire,
I pity who dey kill himself for politician

So far from irev

Eye neck is not serious

INEC sanctioning herself... Lols... Story for the gods. They want to re-strategies as their first plan has been exposed.

Bello has forgotten that he was favored by Audu's death

Then helped by Muri,Edward,Echocho,Okwo,Ahmedi e.t.c for his second tenure, all whom are no longer with him.

Muri and Ribadu na Paddy(That's why security outfit isn't compromised)
Muri and Buni nko?

Muri won Kogi for Tinubu. APC lost central In presidential to Atiku but Muri had the east to deliver and the voters strength was too much.

In fact, Muri is still APC and we know he will decamp after election.

Bello wasted his time bringing a completely unpopular person.

hmmmmm

If NIGERIANs are wise enough, they will realise that all these kidnapping, Banditry, Unknown gun men and BOKO HARAM are created by Government officials.


For once open your eyes NIGERIANs and stop being foolish ing these useless Criminals in Government offices.

Vfr

Corrupt empire

TINUBU USED INEC TO RIG TOO....
And these Inec officers are following the footstep of their oga Mahmud.

Only 9 wards? The sham elections in the entire kogi central senatorial district should be cancelled.
