Nigerians Roast INEC On Twitter Over Inconclusive Elections

A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted the declaration of some state elections as inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
INEC declared Kano state governorship election held on Saturday, March 9, as inconclusive.
Naija News reports that the announcement was made Monday evening, March 11 by the state’s Returning Officer, Bello Shehu, a professor.
The state’s Returning Officer said the Commission declared the election inconclusive because the number of cancelled votes is higher than the difference in votes scored between the two leading candidates: Abba Yusuf of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party and incumbent governor Abdullahi Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party.
Announcing the results, Shehu said while the PDP candidate polled 1,014,474 votes, Mr Ganduje of the APC scored 987,819 votes leaving a difference of 26,655 votes.
The state’s Returning Officer also said the total number of votes cancelled across 22 local government areas including Gama ward of Nasarawa local government is 141,694 votes.
Meanwhile, Naija News reports that the development means Kano has joined a growing list of states where elections have been declared inconclusive. The list includes Benue, Plateau, Adamawa, Bauchi and Sokoto states.
Moments after the news broke, Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to blast the Commission for declaring elections in some states as inconclusive.
Naija News captured some of the reactions below…
Adamawa, Plateau, Kano,
Bauchi and Sokoto declared inconclusive. Rivers and Delta results suspended.INEC has declared elections inconclusive in 5 states where APC is losing and suspended announcement of results in 3 states where PDP is winning.

INEC RECs across various states where PDP won are busy dishing out “inconclusive” this morning.
INEC at the Centre, 2 weeks ago, went ahead with declaring Buhari President, despite not having a full breakdown of results including cancelled areas.

PDP is winning in Adamawa.
INEC declared it inconclusive over cancelled, same with Bauchi, Plateau, Sokoto, why is there always cancellation of votes when APC is losing?
PDP is winning in Kano state, INEC stopped collation of result.
Maurice Iwu INEC is learning under this INEC.— Zaddy Ajala (@UNCLE_AJALA) March 11, 2019
Prof Yakubu led INEC has declared the gubernatorial elections inconclusive in about 5 states where APC is losing and suspended collation/ announcement of results in 3 states where is winning in a landslide.
Prof Yakubu is a big fraud.

#Inconclusive…Kano people you can see we are in this together. #Iyawuya. I am glad you voted your candidate. But you see @OfficialAPCNg they don't care if it's the devil ruling you as long as they hold power. It's not an Igbo thing now.

This #Inconclusive is like a VAR in football because both of them are favoring big teams not farmers. #NigeriaDecides2019 #BBCNigeria2019 #KanoDecides2019 #BauchiDecides2019 #PlateauDecides2019 @inecnigeria must be firm to deliver what the masses votes for. That's my opinion
