Dino Melaye, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, raised the alarm and urged supporters and his party agents to protest and ensure that they see plain result sheets before they commence voting in their polling units.

But in reacting to the suspension in the affected wards, Momodu, a PDP chieftain, in a tweet on Saturday, November 11 knocked the electoral body for being unable to complete the election in just three states, adding that it was only God that could rescue the country.

Momodu said:

"Such a shame that INEC is still experiencing the level electoral malfeasance and violence while executive just three States of our Federation is truly disgusting, disturbing, disconcerting and extremely embarrassing, to say the least... It seems only God can rescue Nigeria at this stage."
