He put the number of registered voters at 4,335,208, accredited voters, 1,581,662, valid votes cast, 1,546,747 and invalid votes, 19,114 . He said a total of 1,565,861 votes were cast in the election.
He said, “Senator Uba Sani having scored the highest number of valid votes and met the requirements of the law, is hereby declared the winner and returned elected.”
The PDP agent at the collation centrem Danjuma Sarki, refused to sign the result.
