The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) agents have walked out of the collation center in Abuja ahead of the announcement of some of the presidential election results.

Yakubu, at first, entertained Melaye’s complaints but the former lawmaker sprang up and demanded that the presentation of results by state collation officers for the presidential election (SCOPs) did not in any way translate to the declaration of results by INEC.
