The PUNCH reports that INEC reopened the collation centre for the supplementary election results on Tuesday.
The collation exercise in the state was stopped on Sunday after the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari, declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Binani the winner of the election, which led the commission on Monday to ask Hudu to stay away from the office.
