The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dino Melaye, on Saturday called for the cancellation of elections in five Local Government Areas of the state.

The LGAs, according to Melaye are Okene, Okehi, Ajaokuta, Adavi, and Ogori/Mangogo.

Melaye alleged that the results from the units were compromised.

Posting via his official X account, Melaye said, “INEC must cancel the election in the 5 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.”

Melaye had failed to vote at his polling unit situated at Iluafon quarters, Aiyetoro 1, Ijumu Local Government Area of the state, claiming that the system had been compromised.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission also visited his polling units.

Kogi-West, which Dino hails from has never produced a governor since the inception of the state
