Earlier, some opposition party agents called for the cancellation of the election, arguing that there were gross irregularities. However, the State Returning Officer Prof Akpofure Rim-Rukeh, rejected those calls citing guidelines within the Electoral Act.

Rim-Rukeh who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Efurum, Delta State, told the opposition agents that the powers vested in him does not include the right to reject any result presented by the Returning Officers.
