… INEC ordered RECs not to release data not in conformity with results uploaded
The LP-PCC has queried why INEC sent letters to RECs across Nigeria not to release details of results not in conformity with its uploaded data in its server.
The LP-PCC has condemned this move by the apex electoral body declaring that it's a red signal that the body apparently has something to hide from its legal team.
This development was contained in a statement issued by the LPPCC Chief Spokesperson Dr Yunusa Tanko at the weekend giving updates on recent developments with INEC.
