Poor weather compelled INEC to suspend elections in Borno, Yobe, says REC

THE inability of aircraft to land at Gombe International Airport owing to thick “harmattan haze and poor flight conditions” that persisted in the North-East sub-region of the country at the weekend caused delay in distribution of ballot papers for gubernatorial and state House of Assembly elections in Borno and Yobe states, Borno State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr. Samuel Madaki Usman, said yesterday.
