Ari said that the collation was halted in order to enable verification of the results from the Fufore local government area, where ballot boxes were said to have been snatched.

The race for who will become the governor of the northeastern state is majorly between Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party and Aishatu Dahiru (popularly known as Binani), the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s flagbearer.
