He said:
"There's a massive protest in all polling units in Ogori/Mangogo local government of Kogi state right now.
"The result sheets have been filled and tampered with already. And people are refusing to accredit, people are refusing to vote and they're insisting that plain result sheets must be shown to agents in accordance to electoral law.
"If they refuse to show you result sheets in all polling units across the state? Don't accredit, don't vote, protest and resist it. This is democracy we must protect our vote we must protect the process, we must make sure that all the regulations are being observed and respected."
Legit.ng earlier reported that Melaye had yet to cast his vote at his Iluafon, Ayetore-Gbede polling unit, where voting had already commenced.
