A statement issued by Felix Oboagwina, Agbaje's Director of Media and Publicity, said, in the course of the primaries, the six aspirants agreed that there was a clerical omission in the originally announced tally of 806, as it had left out some ad hoc and statutory delegates from a few local governments, and those should be reckoned and allowed to vote.
"Obanikoro and the other aspirants, together with their agents, were party to this agreement,” Oboagwina said.
"In fact, Obanikoro left his seat, along with the others, when the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Senator Seidu Kumo, called attention to the clerical omission. There and then, they mandated the committee to add these omitted delegates to the total tally. The chairman of the committee felt no need to announce this new figure publicly, since all the contestants willingly endorsed the arrangement.
