Dino Melaye, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP has called out the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.

Speaking in an interview on Arise TV after Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared the winner of the elections, he vowed to write and inform the international communities of Yakubu and INEC’s alleged aiding of rigging in Kogi State.

The PDP Chieftain promised to organize a protest against Yakubu over the conduct of the elections.

He lamented that results were manipulated, and his votes were deducted and added to APC, among others.

According to Melaye: “With comparative analyses from the past, I have seen different types of rigging but the brazen daylight robbery, I have never seen it before.

“INEC demonstrated that they are co-travellers with APC in this business, the speed with which they accepted the concocted results written before accreditation, with all the mutations, and reducing votes of PDP openly and increasing that of APC, people voting above accreditation tells it all.

“Results shown are more than PVC collected, I have never seen this type before.

“This is appalling and we know that the Almighty God that we serve will punish Mahmood Yakubu, he will not go free.

“We will organize protest, we will write letters to all embassies, the international communities telling them that he is a fraud, INEC is a fraud and we will not allow it.”
