The Court ordered for a fresh election.The decision of Court was sequel to the petition by Senator Smart Adeyemi of the All Progressives Congress, who challenged the declaration of Melaye as the winner of he Kogi West Senatorial District election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party said it has noted the statement by the All Progressives Congress “warning” its candidate in the February 23, 2019 presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, against making comments on the state of the nation and that “his patriotic reactions to pressing national issues amount to a felony”.

Speaking while swearing-in the newly democratically elected Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas in the State held at Adeyemi Bero Auditorium in Alausa, Governor Ambode described the judgment as a major success in the quest of the State Government to control its resources and enshrine the true spirit of Fiscal Federalism.
