Hundreds of Kogi Women Saturday trooped to the street of Aiyetoro -Gbede (home town of Senator Dino Melaye) protesting over the assassination
attempt on Senator Dino Melaye.

The women drawn from the seven LGAs of Kogi West senatorial axis of the state also marched from the street to the senators house conveying their solidarity to him.

The protestants who latter goes spiritual raining curses on those who want to kill the senator, carried different ply cards with some inscriptions;

“We, Kogi West Women warn Yahaya Bello, Edward Onoja, Taofiq Isa; touch Dino Melaye and face our wrath”, "Do not kill the light, let the light shine” amidst others.

One of the spokesperson of the group, Mrs Ikusemoro Jalon while addressing the protestants said the politics of assassination is akin to the area,

“Senator Dino is fighting for our rights. The rights of women, workers pensioners and the less privileged, we don’t want him kill. “We are mothers we don’t want him murdered.

We’ve not see this type of politics before. We have been practising politics for long but not the politics of guns”.

The women call on the security agencies to unravel the situation and ensured that justice is prevailed.

Responding to the protestants, Senator Dino alleged that the reason why Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello wanted him dead was because of his stand on the plight of the state workers and Pensioners.
He noted that workers and pensioners in the state are dying and suffering following the refusal of the governor to pay salary and pensions in the last 15 months,

“Yahaya Bello collected N20 billion naira from federal government as bail out fund, still he refused to settle workers. He also collected N11 billion naira from Paris refund money, still he refused to pay workers and pensioners.
“Children can no longer go to school, tenants can no longer pay for house rent, enough is enough the people of Kogi State are tired of this government.
I will continue to speak the truth for the sake of my people. No amount of intimidation will stop me from fighting for the course of my people.”

Dino who expressed deep shock over the assassination attempt on his life described the situation as unfortunate, regrettable, highly disturbing and very strange to the socio-political-culture of the people of Kogi West.

“In the history of Kogi West, various political gladiators have, at various times, had their differences but none had ever been escalated to the level of attempt on life. “The recent incident is alien to Okun people and to Kogi West.

The advent of Yahaya Bello as Governor and Taofiq Isa as Local Government administrator in the political firmament of Kogi state has brought this unfortunate socio-political paradigm shift.

” I have fought for the rights of the people at the national level, God will not forgive me if I don’t fight for the rights of my people at home.”

But what kind of nonsense is this?!

If someone as highly placed as the Governor of a State really wants you dead I do not think he will send assassins to shoot at a 'caravan' and your building walls Senator Dino Melaye

Dino is both the Movie Director, Editor and Lead Actor in this movie script he wrote Himself

Lolzz

God will not forgive u if u don't "fight" but he will forgive u for looting their Commonwealth bah? this is where our politicians rank 1st among their contemporaries @brainwashing

Which kind nonsense be this? All these rented Okpa women.

Dinodiot farting lies uncontrollably. ..

A lot of persons have unwarranted hatred for Dino Melaye. But if you follow events at the upper chamber well, you will realize the most vibrant senator Nigeria has currently is Dino Melaye

Free Dino Melaye!!

I don't knw why women and some unstable youths are pawns in the hand of these evil politicians. Dino is like Yahaya.

We know why, u want him to be your boy now

Big man,big death. You cannot kill a poor man with assassination. Just give am Rat poison

stonemasonn:
Free Dino Melaye!!

Are you one ?

Of what relevance is Dino Melaye to his people and Nigeria at large that anybody will want him dead even as everyone also know the governor of that state as irresponsible. I believe all this is just political statement and publicity which he feeds and enjoys a lot. What a shame! !!

Boring Dino. Stale Gist.
#Yawning.

Liar


Assassination that u arranged

Lousy eediot.

IT Is now official, that money can not buy you Sanity.

Na your wahala be that, today is my birthday please show me some love

Kogi best solution for that state is to split them up..... If not it can only get worse!!!

Lol. The only right that Dino is fighting for is that of his pocket.

You see how politicians use peoples heads? Dino, the multi billionaire whose source of income outside politics is not known is now a rights defender.

Anybody after his life, if this is not about his usual drama should be fished out, but I will rather believe Lai Mohammed, than allign with Dino on anything.

TPAND:

Vibrant in what way please? Maybe you should explain the word "vibrant" in this context to avoid ambiguity.

Assassination attempt! God forbid, I'll rather kill myself than commit suicide

Dino that's taking this joke too far jor.

Useless story

This guy won't stop fooling himself. I guess he wants to become kogi state governor, hence his reason to stage this fake assassination in his home state

ok

ok we have heard

Simply put, Dino has his eyes fixed on the coveted seat, and going by the Nigerian style of politics, you have to make your strongest opponent look bad to stand a chance...
