The Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded Kogi State governorship election, Senator Dino Melaye has blatantly rejected the result announced by INEC.

Taking to his official X (Twitter) timeline, Senator Dino Melaye alleged that the result announced by the INEC was a ‘cooked result’ and could not be accepted. Dino also alleged that a manipulated result showed that the Okene Local Government area alone wrote 138,416 votes for the APC party.

“Okene LG alone wrote 138,416 for APC. This cooked result can’t be accepted. Total Cancellation is the Answer”
