The head of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs. Rebecca Jim, confirmed this news update.
According to her, both the presiding officer and state administrative secretary invited to the INEC headquarters in Abuja, following the controversy from the Obingwa results, would be on their way to Abia, to round up the collation process.
