The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who came third in the Kogi governorship election has repeatedly insisted that the INEC boss had a hand in his electoral loss.
Describing the election as shameful, Melaye, while appearing on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Monday, November 13, 2023, maintained that Yakubu was the main problem of Nigeria’s democracy.
He said, “As I speak to you, I am completely ashamed that INEC had an opportunity to correct their deliberate mistakes in the last presidential election but instead, they have decided to compound the worries of Nigerians over our democratic process. What we saw yesterday was not a democracy. Mahmood Yakubu is the bane of the democratic development in the country, he is not capable of being a repentant soul.”
