A former Kogi West Senator and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dino Melaye, has criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), saying it’s now a department of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Melaye accused INEC of bias and misinterpreting a court order.

In a video he posted on his X page, the ADC chieftain said the electoral body’s actions had eroded public confidence.

According to Melaye, those responsible should either be removed or made to step down.

“We expect that the president will either sack or these people will sack themselves because INEC has misinterpreted the order of the court, they have shown partiality.

“They have shown that they are a department of APC, and we have lost confidence in them,” he said.

This comes as chieftains of the ADC led by Interim National Chairman, David Mark, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and others held a protest at INEC headquarters over the delisting of the party executives.
