The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has rejected the November 11th governorship election results in Kogi State.

The party’s collation agent, David Edibu, had earlier submitted a petition to INEC at the collation centre, calling for the cancellation of results in Okene, Okehi, Ogori Magongo, Adavi, Ajaokuta Local Government Areas, as well as some parts of Lokoja, alleging corrupt practices, vote buying, and over-voting.

The state returning officer, Professor Johnson Urame, received the petitions on behalf of the Commission and assured the SDP that the petition would be reviewed.

The party’s national chairman, Shehu Gabam, later rejected the entire process shortly before the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, was announced the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
