ELECTION RESULT: I’ll wait for INEC’s final say – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said he doesn’t believe in rumour and would rather wait for the result that will be declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Various results on the social media have trailed the Presidential and National Assembly elections held across the country last Saturday.

But the President, on arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Monday, said that he will wait for the final result declaration by INEC.

Buhari had left Abuja on Friday for Daura, Katsina State, in order to exercise his civic responsibility.

Asked his reaction to what he was hearing from across the country, he said “I don’t want to depend on rumours, but we will rather wait for INEC to announce the results.”
