Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kogi State, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel elections in five local government areas in the state.
Melaye named the impacted LGAs as Okene, Okehi, Ajaokuta, Adavi, and Ogori/Mangogo, stating that the results from the areas had been tampered with.
“INEC must cancel the election in the 5 local governments of Kogi-Central. The election in Okene, Okehi, Ajaoukuta, Adavi, and Ogori/Mangogo is a scam coordinated from the highest level of INEC,” Melaye posted on his X account.
Earlier, YIAGA Africa, a civil society organization, had raised the alarm about the discovery of election results from Polling Unit 004, Eni Ward, Ogori/Mangogo area.
The fake result was discovered while voters were still waiting in line.
The APC received 200 votes in the results, AA received one, and the ADC, PDP, and SDP each received two votes.
