Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari again beat Atiku in Kogi State, with a total number of 285,894 votes. Atiku had 218,207.
The announcement of the Ondo results was halted after the Collation officer, Professor Toyin Akeju appeared to be confused with the figures of some parties. He thereby requested for more lights and a long enough ruler.
