Melaye Calls For ā€˜Total Cancellationā€™ Of ā€˜Shamefulā€™ Kogi Gov Poll 

Dino Melaye has called for the cancellation of the Kogi State governorship election, describing the conduct of the exercise as ā€œshamefulā€. 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)ā€™s candidate in the election said this during a press conference in Lokoja on Sunday just as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collates results for the poll.

ā€œI will start by condemning in its totality the conduct of the elections yesterday and outrightly call for the total cancellation of the election because that was not an election,ā€ the PDP candidate said.

ā€œIt is shameful that the unhealthy INEC refuse to realise, ameliorate or palliate the problems they created in the last presidential and governorship elections.

ā€œYesterday in the five local governments of the central senatorial district in Kogi state, there was no election. Surprisingly, accreditation was done manually, the BVAS was not used. Prepared sheets manifested even before accreditation took place and evidence is all over the media.

ā€œSo, INEC as a matter of urgency must cancel the election. In many areas where I won, my agents were told there were no available result sheets to enter the result and we have evidence to back up these claims.

ā€œAs I speak to you, it is shameful that this is what our democracy has descended to. INEC has manifested more than before, that they cannot be trusted, they are biased, they are compromised, and they cannot be a neutral umpire.

ā€œINEC officials and youth corps members were caught yesterday with prepared result sheets even before the commencement of the processes. A youth corps member was arrested with a prepared result and N1 million in his bag.ā€

Melayeā€™s comment came hours after social media became awash with result sheets for the Kogi governorship election even before the exercise commenced.

But the commission was swift to respond to the matter, assuring Nigerians that it would probe the issue.

ā€œOur attention has been drawn to a report that filled result sheets were discovered in some polling units in Kogi State,ā€ the commission said on X. ā€œThe Commission views this situation seriously.ā€
