Gov. Tambuwal urges INEC to declare him winner of Sokoto guber poll vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Tambuwal made the call in a special broadcast on Monday in Sokoto, noting that Section 179 of the Constitutional and INEC guidelines were explicit on governorship elections.
The State Returning Officer said the decision was because the 75, 403 cancelled votes in 136 polling units was higher than the 3, 413 margin difference between Tambuwal’s score and that of the APC candidate. But Tambuwal said that at present, INEC had not communicated the reasons for cancellation of votes in the 136 polling units.
“This technical reason of margin differences has not been applied in Osun and Ekiti elections,” Tambuwal said.He said he obtained a higher number of votes at the concluded election and averred to test the margin principle legally when the “needful had not been done.”
