The collation agent of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, former Minister of State for Health Dr Idi Hong lamented the snatching of result sheets in Fufore LGA.

At the time of filing this report, Governor Umaru Fintiri of the PDP is in an early lead with 11 LGAs out of the 18 announced by INEC.

Results for three LGAs are still being expected, namely Song, Michika and Fufore LGAs.
