The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, candidate in the Kogi West Senatorial supplementary election, Dino Melaye,
has condemned the results announced by the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC.
Melaye described it as “Magic
results.”
In a series of tweets, the former
Senator vowed to contest the results, stressing that “illegality shall never
stand.”
He wrote: “16 out of 24 units
where the supplementary election was conducted today in Kabba/Bunu LG has been
cancelled. This speaks volumes of the disaster called election.
“A situation where APC agents
were the ones issuing INEC result sheets at the pooling units is phenomenal.
“I am very proud of the
electorate in Kogi West. You voted me today but prepared results were already
in place. We will fight to the end. illegality shall never stand. Magic results
everywhere.- SDM.”
Olayinde Lawal, the returning officer of the Saturday’s supplementary election
had declared Smart Adeyemi of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner at the
poll.
The APC candidate got 88,373
votes to defeat Dino Melaye of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his closest
challenger, who polled 62,133 votes.
