Senator Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Kogi State governorship candidate, has stated that he will not contest the All Progressives Congress’ electoral victory before the state election petition tribunal.
Platinum Times had reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission declared APC candidate Usman Ododo the victor of the state’s governorship election on November 11.
The PDP governorship candidate, who finished third in the poll, claimed on Wednesday that the judiciary is no more independent and has become a department of the APC.
Dino stated,
“Judiciary is no longer the last hope of the ordinary people, it is now a department under the All Progressives Congress. Why should any responsible person go to the tribunal when the APC have captured the judiciary?
“I have lost complete confidence in the judiciary.”
