Dino Melaye Storms out of the Collation center with other party agents alleges rigging

Dino Melaye Storms out of the Collation center: The National Collation Agent for the People Democratic Party, Dino Melaye and other

party agents walked out of the International Conference Centre in Abuja over alleged rigging.

Dino who walked out of the venue, used for the collation of the presidential result on

Monday, alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission has been compromised and the election was rigged in favour of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress.

He said,

“Having observed that the Chairman of INEC is determined to rig the elections by making sure

that results are not uploaded, by vehemently making a presentation that makes it look as if

we are all here to rubber- stamp the fraud cooked between INEC and the APC, we are saying we

are not here to rubberstamp the electoral fraud that have been prepared by INEC and the APC. We are Nigerians. There is nowhere on the server that results have been uploaded.

The political parties here staged a walkout to express the unfortunate politicisation and commercialisation of our electoral process.

He also alleged that the uploaded results differ from what collation officers were presenting.

According to Dino;

“INEC failed in the transmission of results. When I and other party agents raised the issue,

the INEC chairman evaded the comments, The only way for us to see that BVAS has been

bypassed is to see uploaded results. We insist the INEC chairman displays uploaded

results by state as the results are being presented.”

He also said that this method of collation is not different from what was done in the past.

”What Mahmoud is doing in this collation is not different from what was done in the

past years! If this is what we were going to get, why waste resources? Why waste the

peoples money, including my personal funds?”
