ADC delays presidential primary collation for Eid celebrations


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed the collation of results from its presidential primary.

Chief Ikechi Emenike, chairman of the party’s Presidential Primary Election Committee, announced the decision late Tuesday, May 26, 2026. He said the delay was to allow Muslim members to observe Eid-el-Kabir.

Emenike added that collation for the remaining states will resume at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday (today), noting that some returning officers faced flight disruptions to Abuja.

He said: “We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate Sallah participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that results from 24 states and FCT had already been announced by various state returning officers, remaining 12 states before the postponement.

The states include Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, and Kogi.

Others are Kano, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi , Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara, and the FCT.
