In addition, INEC promised that it would hold the upcoming elections in the federal districts of Igueben, Esan-central/Esan-west, and Enugu East in the Edo state on March 11.
Elections in the Esan and Igueben federal constituency in Edo state were postponed by the electoral commission because a party’s emblem was absent from the ballot paper.
On February 25, INEC held national presidential and national assembly elections.
The winner of the election was proclaimed to be Bola Tinubu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
When winners of the national assembly elections will receive their certificates of return, the commission stated it would make the announcement in a statement.
