It said: “Observers and INEC officials are being teargassed in Ikpoba/Okha.
“We want to emphasize that collating LGA results at the state headquarters violates the established procedure for results collation.
“We urge @inecnigeria to stand form against intimidation and interference.
“Electoral law permits accredited observers, media, and party agents to monitor results collaboration at all levels.
“Failure to address these issues risks undermining the legitimacy of what has been a peaceful process since it’s commencement.”
