The Kogi State governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Dino Melaye, said he will not challenge the electoral victory of the All Progressives Congress before the state election petition tribunal.
The PDP governorship candidate, who came in third in the election, on Wednesday alleged that the judiciary is no longer independent but 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 has captured the judiciary?
“I have lost complete confidence in the judiciary.”
The Independent National Electoral Commission declared the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, winner of the November 11 governorship election in the state.
