The AUTHORITY reports that there were also confirmation of cancellation of results in a number of polling units across the state largely due to over-voting and pockets of violence.
However, APC agent, Alhaji Rabi’u Suleiman Bichi contested against the results in Dambatta Local Government Area, describing the results as incorrect.
According to him, APC was short-changed with about 2000 votes.
Also, Kabiru Gwarzo of NNPP also complained about results from Makoda and Dambatta Local Government Areas, insisting that the B-VAS machine was not used.
