***Apologises to Nigerians, says results safe
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said technical challenges with its system were responsible for the delay in uploading the presidential election results to its Results Viewing Portal (IReV).
The commission admitted that, unlike off-season elections where the portal was used, it had been relatively slow and unsteady during the presidential and national assembly elections.
National Commissioner and Chairman of, the Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, stated this in a statement on Sunday.
