 of selecting few of their members to cover the governorship){kind=link}
Journalists in Kano state have accused the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) of selecting few of their members to cover the governorship and State Houses of Assembly results collation, threatening to boycott the process if such was not corrected immediately.
INEC Public Relations Officer, Adam Maulud, had issued a statement indicating few journalists as the only ones allowed to cover the result collation exercise on Sunday. When contacted to give reasons for this development, Maulud said the Commission was doing so for security and logistics reasons.
However, in a counter statement, the State Correspondent Chapel Chairman, Ibrahim Garba asked journalists to hold on, urging those selected not to honor the invitation.
The collation of results is expected to commence at about 2:00pm.
