Rev. Eric Theman, the Adamawa State gubernatorial candidate of the Movement for the Restoration and Defence of Democracy, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to cancel the election in the state over absence of his party logo on the ballot paper.
Theman told the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Yola that whatever the outcome of the election was unacceptable to him and his party.
He said: “I reject the election and urge INEC to stop the process of announcing the results immediately.
“My party is not on the ballot paper and I will reject whatever is the outcome.”
Reacting to the development, the Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC in Adamawa State, Kashim Gaidam, said the issue was beyond his mandate.
According to Gaidam, the INEC headquarters in Abuja was in a better position to explain the situation.
