Results of Presidential Elections will be Announced by Monday, - INEC

As Nigerians go to the polls tomorrow in the
presidential and national assembly elections, the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
says it will announce the result of the elections within
48 hours after voting.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega who revealed this
Friday, during a joint press briefing with the Director
General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),
Brig. Gen. Johnson Olawumi said the
electoral body has put everything in place to ensure a
hitch free exercise.
Jega also revised the argument whether voters
should vote and go home or stay for the result to be
announced, saying the statement of the Inspector
General of Police (IGP) Suleiman Abba that people
should go home after voting was only advisory.
"There is no controversy whether people should vote
and go or stay. People should remain to know who
wins in their polling unit as long as they remain calm.
The statement of the IG is only advisory."
The INEC boss also revealed that the elections will
take place in all the 119,973 polling units across the
country even as he added that there is no polling unit
with more than 750 voters because where that occurs
they should be broken into voting points.
