The visit of the ECOWAS team is coming in the wake of calls by former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the major opposition parties for the Independent National Electoral Commission to cancel the results of Saturday’s elections.
The calls had angered the ruling party which scolded Obasanjo for not acting like an elder statesman with his inciting statement.
