#KogiDecides2023: Dino Melaye Demands Cancellation Of Elections In Five LGAs

Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Governorship candidate, is calling for the cancellation of elections in five Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state, Aso Naija Reports.

These LGAs include Okene, Okehi, Ajaokuta, Adavi, and Ogori/Mangogo. Melaye alleges that the election results from these areas were compromised.

Taking to his official X account, dino states that the election in these LGAs is a coordinated scam from the highest level of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In related news, Melaye failed to appear at his polling unit located at Iluafon quarters, Aiyetoro 1, Ijumu Local Government Area.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives also visited his polling units. Melaye, along with the African Democratic Congress candidate, Leke Abejide, are the main contenders for the governorship position in the Kogi West Senatorial District. Electoral observers believe that Abejide, a serving lawmaker, may impact Melaye’s chances in the governorship polls.

It’s worth noting that Kogi-West, Melaye’s place of origin, has never produced a governor since the state’s establishment.
