A PDP chieftain in the state, who spoke anonymously, disclosed that Melaye did not vote because he believed that the election outcome had been predetermined by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP chieftain said:

“Oga deliberately stayed away from the exercise so as not to give the election credibility. We are quite aware where the pendulum will swing because the outcome is already predetermined.”
