“There is no information on the withheld results as I speak with you. But we are working on them,” he told DAILY POST on Tuesday.

Reminded that affected candidates are anxious and have been asking questions, the spokesman appealed to them to exercise a little more patience.

“We understand this. Please call me next week, we should have an update,” Benjamin added.
