The Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) governorship candidate
in Saturday’s election in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has rejected the election,
calling for its cancellation.
On Sunday, at a press conference in Lokoja, the state
capital, Melaye described the election as a sham.
“There was no election; accreditation was done manually,
BVAS was not used, and prepared result sheets were available before the
election.”
“INEC must cancel the election. We have evidence to back it
up. INEC has manifested gross incompetence; it cannot be trusted, it is biased
and compromised,” he said.
He said INEC is the bane of the development of the nation,
adding that the time has come for Nigerians to rise and effect a leadership
change at the electoral umpire.
The PDP candidate stated that the INEC officials refused to
make available result sheets in most polling units, claiming that there were no
available result sheets to record in the areas he won.
“I call for a total cancellation of the election. I
sympathize with the Kogi people; I weep for Nigeria and the unborn generation.”
According to results trickling from collation centres across the state, the candidate of All Progressives Congress, Usman Ahmed Ododo, is in an early lead.
