Senator Dino Melaye 

Dino Melaye, senator who formerly represented Kogi West at the Senate, has lambasted those celebrating the electoral victory of Mr. Smart Adeyemi in last Saturday’s rerun election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Smart Adeyemi winner of Kogi West senatorial election, having polled a total of 88,373 votes, compared to Melaye’s 62,133 votes.



But reacting on his official twitter handle on Sunday, Melaye said, "Congratulating Smart Adeyemi will amount to congratulating an armed robber after successful operation. SDM.

Congratulating Smart Adeyemi will amount to congratulating an armed robber after successful operation. SDM.
