The Director General of Renewed Vision for New Direction Campaign for Ododo, has reacted to a publication by an Affair TV, an online platform which carried news reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), that only Bayelsa Governorship poll results will be transmitted manually, describing the plan if true, as partial.

Chief Abiodun Akerejola in a statement made available to our correspondent in Lokoja recently, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to urgently give explanation as regards this publication.
