According to the REC, the decision was constitutional.
DAILY POST reports that in the results announced so far, Gov Aminu Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party was leading his closest rival, Alhaji Ahmad Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress with a margin of 3,413 votes while 75, 403 votes were cancelled. Consequently, the governor has filed a suit challenging the decision of the electoral umpire to declare the election ‘inconclusive’ on the ground that it is unknown to the Nigerian constitution.Reacting, however, the INEC REC told reporters that, “Elections in the 136 polling units were cancelled because there were violence, willful destruction of voting materials and manhandling of our staff.
“The total number of votes cancelled were higher than the winning margin. It can significantly change the result. “So, it is not concocted by INEC. INEC is empowered by the constitution to provide guidelines for elections and there is procedure for declaring election inconclusive,” he said.
Constitutional or bye-law stipulated in Inconclusive National Electoral commission's handbook, which is at variance with the 1999 constitution? In law, whenever a bye-law is at variance with the constitution, the constitution supersede.
