Some voters have decried the late arrival of materials as well as officials.
During the main election, Fufore LG sparked an uproar at the state collation centre in Yola, leaving the only local government, one of the largest voting enclaves in the state, outstanding.
Aishatu Ahmad Dahiru Ahmed, known as Binani, is widely expected to win the local government area. Still, controversy over the margin of victory has been the source of confrontation between the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress.
The APC insisted the initial results compiled for the local government area, which appeared to show Binani leading by a vast margin, must be accepted.
The PDP rejected this, saying results actual results now being accepted by INEC matched the outcome viewable in the commission’s results viewing portal.
