The moment a national collation officer of one of the political parties questioned why the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had not refreshed guested at the collation center in Abuja has joined the trends on social media.

Speaking directly to INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, the unidentified polling officer asked why the commission hadn't provided refreshments for the guests since the collation center in Abuja was opened.

He queried: "You are asking us to come back at 11 am. I just want you to note that throughout the time the venue has been opened, not even water has been given to us and I feel it is very sad and inappropriate."

In his response, Mr. Yakubu apologized and called for the secretariat to ensure water and dinner is provided for all the guests at the collation center.

"Some people are surprised by what you said but I take it that you are right. Secretariat, please make sure that you provide him not only water but dinner as well. Not only him but all others who are here."

"I hope that ones these services are provided, we have no problem resuming at 11."
