There was serious tension at the Gusau zonal office of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as the agents of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, caused serious trouble after the returning officer
declared Gusau Local Government result in the rerun election.
One of the APC agents, popularly known as Doctor, sensed
that his party had lost in Gusau following the results and he began to make
some utterances that offended the security operatives.
The security operatives, therefore, ordered everyone in the
hall, including the journalists, to leave as some of them were set to shoot at
sight.
However, the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists,
NUJ, in the State, declared openly that the working journalists in the State
would not leave the hall even at gunpoint.
The results were delayed for some hours due to some friction
that bred up due to the APC’s failure to capture the Senate and House of
Representatives seats in the zone.
Even when counting resumed, many journalists were not
allowed into the hall by the security operatives.
