Breaking: INEC declares Benue guber election inconclusive

After an intense political battle involving eminent citizens of Benue state on either side of Senator Akume’s All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor Samuel Ortom’s Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), the March 9 governorship polls has been declared inconclusive.

At the state’s Collation Centre located within the INEC headquarters in Makurdi on Monday, the Collation Officer, Professor Sebastine Maimako presented the thirty-three participating political parties’ results, including that of APC which got 329, 022 votes and the PDP with 410, 576.

“First maximum vote, PDP with 410, 586, APC with 329, 022 with margin of lead, 81, 554.

“Total cancelled votes documented is 122, 019; on the basis of this, I hereby declare the election inconclusive,” he stated.

Immediately, the PDP agent, Alex Ter Adum rose, citing constitutional provisions, portions of the Electoral Act and INEC guidelines which made such decision appear grossly unfair to the PDP and its candidate.

[video] China releases a cartoon to mock US over it's accusations

China releases a bizarre Lego-like cartoon, mocking US COVID-19 response after the communist country has been criticized by the US president Donald Trump, for allegedly poor handling of the health crisis. While China has reported no fatalities from the virus in the country over the past week, the white House has accused China of concealing vital data about the pandemic during it's initial stage, and therefore ordered an investigation into reports that COVID-19 had been caused by an accident at Wuhan institute of virology. In a short video clip posted by China's official news agency Xinhua, the Chinese slammed the accusation against them, claiming that the US was inconsistent at various stages of the pandemic. Once Upon a Virus, #China responds to the #USA with a cartoon. Thank you @XHNews pic.twitter.com/KcMkvzHilW — tim anderson (@timand2037) April 30, 2020
