The National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, today, accused the National Agent of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, Dino Melaye, of being deliberately disruptive.
The accusation came after a mild uproar at the National Collation Centre in Abuja when Melaye contested the results presented on the floor of the centre.
Melaye had specifically observed that the results announced for Ekiti State on Sunday where the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, won did not tally with the overall figures.
The former senator had consequently requested that the results be projected live on screen while being read by the State Coalition Officer for the Presidential Election, SCOPE, and Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, of the presenting state.
But in his response, Professor Yakubu said Melaye’s observation was noted and would be acted upon, adding that most of the observations made by Melaye and other party agents ought to have been presented and rectified at the ward, local and state collation centres.
However, Melaye insisted that his observation be implemented before results from other states are taken.
