Former Kogi West senator Dino Melaye has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of aiding the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig the 2027 general elections.
Melaye made the allegation on Monday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme, where he declared that INEC has failed Nigerians woefully and breached the country’s electoral laws.
“INEC is helping the APC to rig the 2027 elections. There is repetition of photographs on INEC’s voter registration. It failed an integrity test showing AI imputation by 89%,” he said.He accused the commission of violating the Electoral Act, stating: “When you have an organization that is a lawbreaker, you have an institution that has broken the very law it is supposed to implement; then there is a problem.”
Melaye further claimed that INEC had failed to meet a legal deadline. “INEC was given 90 days to publish all the voters’ lists. 90 days is over, and INEC has not done that. It’s a major contradiction of our extant law.”Citing a specific example, he alleged sharp irregularities in voter numbers in Edo State.
“The polling unit of the governor of Edo State had over 400 voters in the election that put him as governor 2 years ago. In the new INEC register, that same polling unit has more than 4,000 voters. That is an increase of over 1,000%, and nothing is happening in Edo State,” Melaye said.
