The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has put the collation of its presidential primary election results on hold.
Ikechi Emenike, the chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, announced the postponement late Tuesday, explaining that the pause was intended to give Muslim party members the opportunity to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.
Mr. Emenike stated that the collation process for the outstanding states would resume at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday (today).

He noted that some returning officers from those areas had run into flight difficulties trying to reach Abuja.
“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate sallah, participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today,”
Before the process was put on hold, state returning officers had already announced results from 24 states and the FCT.
The states that had already been declared include Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, Kogi, Kano, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara, and the FCT.
