Samson Ngerebara, the APC agent, had challenged INEC collation officer, Enefiok Essien as the figures were announced.

“If you want to make yourself the tribunal, sit now and start to investigate all the results. I have the recording of all you said last night. You mutilated results against our President Muhammadu Buhari,” another APC agent said.
