Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in Adamawa stormed the streets of Yola on Monday requesting for the announcement of the governorship election results in the state.
The protesters made up of men, women and youths, on Monday, first stopped at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Yola where they urged the commission to respect the mandate of the people.
They decried what they described as a lack of transparency in the Adamawa State election, which should have been concluded with the first poll held on March 18.
The protesters said the supplementary election held was a charade which should be condemned by all, adding that from results collated so far, it is obvious that Governor Umaru Fintiri won the election.
INEC had on Sunday suspended collation of the supplementary poll after the Resident Electoral Commission (REC) in the state strangely declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Aishatu Ahmed, the winner while collation of results was ongoing.
However, INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Festus Okoye slammed the action of the Adamawa REC, saying it usurped the power of the Returning Officer.
