The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
Dino Melaye, on Saturday demanded the cancellation of the elections which were
held in five Local Government Areas of the state.
The LGAs, according to Melaye are Okene, Okehi, Ajaokuta,
Adavi, and Ogori/Mangogo.
The candidate alleged that the results from the units were
compromised.
Posting via his official X account, Melaye said, “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 failed to show up at his polling unit situated at
Iluafon quarters, Aiyetoro 1, Ijumu Local Government Area of the state.
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had also visited his
polling units.
Dino, alongside the candidate of the African Democratic
Congress, Leke Abejide, popularly referred to as “Elder” are the two major
candidates gunning for the position of governor from the Kogi West Senatorial
District.
Electoral observers say Abejide who is a serving lawmaker
may affect Dino’s chances at the governorship polls.
Kogi-West, which Dino hails from has never produced a
governor since the inception of the state.
