There was a little drama on Monday as the Collation Officer for Ondo state, Prof. Kayode Soremekun, struggled to match correctly tabulated figures with the political parties.
The renowned Professor of International Relations on many occasions mixed up scores for political parties, prompting the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to ask him to go back.
Yakubu was forced to ask Soremekun to go back and reconcile the results.
Meanwhile President Muhammadu Buhari has maintained lead in six states already announced.
In the latest results announced, Buhari won in Kogi state wirh 285 894 to Atiku’s 218, 207.
There were 1,640, 449 while 570, 773 were accredited for the elections.
Prof Michael Atiku, Vice Chancellor, University of Abuja, who is the Collation Officer for the state, revealed that 89,101 votes were cancelled.
This he said was due to lots of hostility at the polling stations.
The opposition parties however kicked over the figure of cancelled votes.
