Counting is continuing across the country after the March 9 elections for governors in 29 of Nigeria’s 36 states, all state assemblies and administrative councils in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja. Results are expected in the coming days. (Photo AFP)
According to Dogara, one of such ways INEC has debased the institution is by declaring elections inconclusive.
