The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has seven days to review the results of the November 11 Kogi State governorship election, according to Senator Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) nominee.
Melaye claimed that voter suppression, overvoting, and mutilation occurred during the election in an interview with Politics Today on Channels TV. As a result, he continued, INEC must cancel election in five local government areas of the state.

“It was based on the mutilation results that Yahaya Bello’s stooge was declared winner. INEC is aware that some local government results were written before the election.
“This is what happened across the local government. Seventeen local governments in Kogi State have over voting.
“We have submitted our petitions to INEC with evidences this afternoon. Our next line of action is that INEC has seven days to review petitions. We are going to see what they would do. In a just society silence is a crime.”
“INEC must cancel the election in the five 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.”
