It was alleged that he was paid two billion Naira to pull off the heist.
Reacting, INEC nullified the declaration null and void.
The commission stated in a tweet that the REC’s announcement was invalid because he does not possess the powers to declare a winner and the process had also not been concluded.
INEC also suspended the collation of results of the supplementary election and directed the REC, Returning Officer, and all other parties involved to report to the Commission’s Headquarters in Abuja immediately.
