Despite the extension of the elections to Sunday, the INEC chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega has assured Nigerians that the results of the presidential poll will be announced on Monday.

Meanwhile, results continue to emerge, and PUNCH says " results from Osun and Ogun states showed the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, defeating President Goodluck Jonathan."

"But in Ekiti State, Jonathan had an easy ride as he beat the APC candidate."

Jega has told Nigerians: “Some people assume that when I said 48 hours( for the release of the results), it starts from the morning the elections commenced. It is 48 hours after elections have ended, like yesterday(Saturday).

“You start counting 48 hours from yesterday (Saturday) when substantial majority of the polling units ended elections.”

The INEC chairman has also said he is satisfied with the results of the polls.
