The People's Democratic Party's (PDP) governorship candidate in last Saturday’s election in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has called for the cancellation of the poll, describing the conduct of the exercise as “shameful”.
He said this during a press conference in Lokoja, just as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collated the results.
Dino alleged that there was no election in the five local governments of the Central Senatorial District in Kogi State, adding that, surprisingly, accreditation was done manually and the BVAS was not used.
His comment came hours after social media became awash with result sheets for the Kogi governorship election, even before the exercise commenced. INEC swiftly responded, assuring Nigerians it would probe the issue.
