The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the just concluded governorship election in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has reacted to reports that he was nowhere to be found in his polling unit during the election.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Melaye stated this on the Monday\u2019s edition of Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today, whence asked to confirm whether the reports were true.<\/p>\n

The former Senator said casting his vote or otherwise is immaterial, maintaining that he was rigged out in the exercise.<\/p>\n

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came third with the All Progressives Congress (APC)\u2019s Usman Ododo winning the election.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite claims that Melaye did not even vote during the Saturday poll, the PDP flagbearer argued that it did not matter in the scheme of things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of voting or not voting has no legal status. People win elections in prison. \u201cLegally, it has no relevance to the election. Whether I voted or not, it is immaterial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senator Melaye maintained: \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about it\u201d as he argued that there was no election in Kogi State on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Senator Melaye also alleged that some unnamed political enemies met to decide \u201che must become a distant third\u201d in the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cA meeting was held and they said, \u2018Dino Melaye must not come second because if he comes second, it\u2019s dangerous\u2026 so, he must become a distant third.\u2019 There was no election; there was only allocation of votes,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n

Murtala Ajaka of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) came second with 259,052 votes, while Melaye scored 46,362.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally, Ajaka should not be excited that he won one, two, or three local governments in the East. It was allocated,\u201d Melaye said.<\/p>\n

According to the former lawmaker, the same thing happened in the February 25 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cLagos was given to Labour,\u201d he said. \u201cLabour should not think they won [in] Lagos; it was deliberate. The mathematics was done. The arithmetic was done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kogi PDP candidate argued further that the 2023 New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, was \u201cgiven Kano, knowing fully well that other states had been padded.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Melaye\u2019s view, this was the \u201cexact same formula that was used in Kogi State\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the
