Nigeria: Mega Party's Candidate, Omoyeni Alleges Bribery, Seeks Cancellation of Results

Ado-Ekiti — Candidate of the Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN), Bisi Omoyeni has called for the cancellation of results of the election.He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All the Progressives Congress (APC), for a true leader to emerge. Omoyeni, who made the call in an exclusive interview with The Guardian in Ikere-Ekiti, described the electoral process as a rape of democracy.

He said: "They have killed democracy in Nigeria. If democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people, what happened at the weekend shouldn't have happened.
