The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, the winner of the November 11 election.
Following the announcement of the winner, Melaye, who came third in the election rejected the results of the poll, alleging that the exercise was fraught with irregularities.
Despite rejecting the results, Melaye on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, said he won’t challenge the outcome of the election at the state tribunal because “the APC has captured the judiciary.”
