Kogi West Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the security agencies to release Senator Dino Melaye, who is representing the senatorial zone, without further delay.

The call came after an emergency meeting held at the Iyah-Gbede residence of General David Jemibewon (rtd.) to review the “unabated intimidation” of the senator.

In a statement signed by Taiwo Kola-Ojo, the chairman, Kogi West PDP vowed to return Melaye to the senate, whether he is allowed to campaign or not, just the same way his recall exercise was killed by the people, his incapacitation during the period notwithstanding.


It asked the people of the district to resist the wickedness of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and vote massively for Melaye.

The party described the ordeal of their senator since he left APC as “one of the dubious tactics against the PDP across the country,” adding that “it is medicine after death.”

It observed that the senator’s incarceration was a deliberate strategy to cripple his re-election campaign.

The statement read in part: “The occupation of the residence, inhuman evacuation and the ultimate incarceration of Senator Dino Melaye by the Nigerian police in cahoots with the APC governments at the national level and Kogi State is cowardly, retrogressive, repressive and persecuted.”

It noted that any breach of the law should not be condoned when such had been proved, stressing the need to accord appropriate respect to Senator Melaye against whom no offence had been proved.

Calling for the immediate release of Melaye and the unconditional withdrawal of all frivolous charges for which he is being tried in about seven courts in Abuja and Lokoja, the party said that Melaye’s tenure brought more democracy dividends to Kogi West than Kogi State and councils in the area.

It expressed satisfaction with the representation of Melaye.

Worried by the various manipulative activities of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as shown by the controversial role assigned to Amina Zakari, President Buhari’s sister, the controversy surrounding incident forms and card readers, as well as the sudden alarm raised by the governors of Katsina, Borno and Zamfara states, the party enjoined the people to put on their full consciousness to check the rigging plans of APC.

The meeting called on the people of Kogi to turn out massively to receive Atiku Abubakar, who would be on a campaign visit to the state soon.

Constituency project.....

DINO the DRAMA boy abi na man

Good move...... But Jubril is determined to frustrate him as he sees him as his number one nightmare in the Senate and Kogi state.

He wants to remain in Aso rock by all means and Mr Melaye could frustrate that mission

Ajekun Iya ni oje, Ajekun Iya ni oje, Ajekun Iya ni oje. eni tiotoni nan ti n de nan deni, Ajekun Iya ni oje.

Everyone looter for himself, God for all. Sarathieve thinks only about himself. He inherited selfishness from his father. Atikuloot is afraid of being extradited to USA where he is wanted for money laundering. Fayose, FFK and Reno Omokirikiri are waiting for their next dose of hard drugs in order to be active.

APC children of hate and angers, over to you for your usual crockery comments.

Does PDP still exists in Kogi state?
Gov. Yahaya Bello will make sure no position is held by PDP..
that Gov is something else

ok

We thanks the Original "O to ge" guys Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, Alhaji Iyola Alajagunsi and Chief Rex Olayiwola. For their unrelenting efforts to see that Kwara total freedom from Saraki's dominance come to an end in the gubernatorial and House of Representatives in forthcoming election.���

NASS no wan die for Dino , only kogi west

the release depends on court verdict

"Freedom of speech" & "Freedom after Speech" are two different things. Don't get it twisted.

For now, it's freedom after Speech
