Rowdy session as INEC begins collation of results for Imo governorship
Tamarauemi Ebimini
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun the collation of results for the 2023 Imo State governorship election.
The returning officer for the election, Abayomi Fasina, the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University in Oye, Ekiti, who led in the procedure began at 2:40am on Sunday at the collation centre in Owerri.
The results are being compiled just hours after the governorship election in the state.
However, there has been rowdy session at the collation with several agents of political parties kicking against the collation process.
“Why are you in a hurry to collate?” one of the party agents shouted repeatedly.
Agents of other political parties called for the suspension of the collation until allegations of electoral malpractices raised by some candidates were resolved.
But Mr Fasina, a professor, insisted that the collation must go on.
At about 5:08 a.m., a party agent was forcefully bundled out of the State Collation Centre by some security agencies.
