The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the Adamawa State governorship election inconclusive.

The collation officer said on Monday that a winner could not be declared because the number of collected PVCs at over 37,000 was more than the margin of lead for Governor Ahmadu Fintiri over his challenger, Aishatu Ahmed.
