Dino Melaye, spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party has challenged the Ekiti state results declared by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), at the national collation centre in Abuja.

During the live coverage of the 2023 general election declaration of the winner, Dino refutes the results pronouncing Bola Tinubu as the winner of Ekiti state.

According to Dino, the Ekiti state results do not coincide with the results the PDP got from the polling unit as he called for a cancel of the declaration.

Responding to Dino's accusation, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ask the PDP spokesperson why his party refused to bring up these discrepancies during the various stages of presentation.

Dino claim INEC has failed to upload all available results onto the INEC portal before declaring the results of the election.

This caused a confrontation between the PDP spokesperson and the INEC chairman.

The collation centre has gone on an interlude to be back to resume the declaration of states results.

Reacting to the abruption of the collation centre, some supporters of the Labour Party took to social media to share their thoughts.

babajideedges1: A disaster of an Inec chairman, Mahmoud Ineptitude Yakubu.

Dino is only fighting for his bag not us. Don’t be fooled.
All the same, his hullabaloo, yanponyanrin & rogbodiyan energy are needed.

stanuzor: God has put confusions in their camps. You cannot fight God. We want a better Nigeria! Nigeria must work! Nothing can stop Nigeria from coming becoming great again! Never again will Nigeria be a laughing stalk to other countries. I have dual citizenship, but I am proud to be a Nigeria. No more subjecting Nigeria to be an object of mockery globally. Enough is enough! If Nigeria were to be good none of us will migrate to another country. Enough biko!

stanbnx: Tbh I like Dino’s energy, I hope LP agent acts bold too.

lolacweetie: God is using Dino for Nigerians

shakilaali8: My respect for Dino don Rise. Why is he the only one speaking ...no one supporting his request. GOD PROTECT HIM

grey_fleur: Not a fan of Dino, but he is right. INEC cannot just be calling numbers arbitrarily

opeyemiadedire: Dino is right here, you cant just come out and be calling numbers for us when they’ve not be uploaded on the server for us to confirm

iamkforexia: Dear @inecnigeria, Tinubu's loss in Lagos is the greatest indicator that he didn't win anywhere. Rise up Nigeria... its clear. INEC DO NOT BE UNFORTUNATE
