Kogi Guber: Dino Melaye Raises Alarm Over Alleged Result Sheets Tampering In Ogori/Magongo

The Kogi State Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen Dino Melaye, has alleged that result sheets have been prefilled and tampered with in all polling units located in Ogori/Magongo local government area of the state.

Melaye also said that there are massive protests in the units, as voters have refused to be accredited, insisting that the plain result sheets should be made available for the electorate in the area.

The former Kogi senator made these known in a short video posted on social media on Saturday morning as the off-season governorship election is ongoing in the state.

He urged the people to resist any form of malpractice that could scuttle their wishes as the people of Kogi.

“..is to show agents the result sheets and that the result sheets have been written. There is a massive protest in all polling units in Ogori/Mangogo local government of Kogi State right now,” Melaye said.
