Adeyemi, Melaye Clash Over Kogi Senatorial Rerun by Islie: 9:28am On Oct 17, 2019
Gbenga Odogun , Lokoja



Ahead of the Kogi West senatorial rerun ordered by the Court of Appeal last week , the two actors in the race , Smart Adeyemi and Dino Melaye , have been trading words .

Adeyemi, who is a two- term former senator of Kogi West , said Melaye never won any election in his political career .

The former lawmaker, in an interview with our correspondent, accused the incumbent senator of allegedly manipulating his way into office using political thuggery and rigging .

He said, “ This position has been proved right by last week ’s decision of the Court of Appeal affirming the decision of the lower court , ordering a rerun of the Kogi West senatorial election . ”

Adeyemi stated that no one could deliberately cast his vote for Melaye because the senator did not fit into the category of those that could earn the respect of any Yoruba man who valued morals more than money.

He added , “ Besides , the Senate is meant for those who have proved their mettle in other areas before bringing his experience to bear at the Senate . Where has Dino ever worked to gather any experience?”

However, Melaye described Adeyemi as an expired product in Kogi West .

The lawmaker said his predecessor ’s eight years in office was a curse rather than blessing to the district .

Melaye , speaking through his media aide , Gideon Ayodele , said, “ The judgments in the tribunal and appeal court have not said that Senator Dino Melaye did not defeat him . Senator Dino Melaye defeated Smart in six out of the seven local government areas of Kogi West . ”

According to him , the mandate is the people ’ s and cannot be stolen or taken away .
He added , “ If we go to the election again and again, Dino Melaye will still defeat Smart Adeyemi. ”

Smart can only attack Dino on morals. But constituents have felt Dino's impact positively than Smart.

Sadly the two of them are useless and none of them fit to hold that position.

Nigerian Electoral Formula is to win first at all costs, then use the public funds of your office to hire good lawyers to convince a 5 man panel of judges to decide for millions of electorates.

As much as we still practice the current electoral laws, litigations and wrong choices will continue.

Even the children of hate, perdition and frustration, aka wailers that support Dino with 24/7 of their miserable lives can never answer this simple question!
With all his expensive lifestyle.

Criminals supported by thieves.

Kogites, wise up and vote for the person that will better your future and the future of your unborn kids.

Adeyemi asking where Dino has work to acquire experience

He added , “ Besides , the Senate is meant for those who have proved their mettle in other areas before bringing his experience to bear at the Senate . Where has Dino ever worked to gather any experience?”

Below is Wikipedia's answer to Adeyemi about Dino:

"He graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria where he studied geography in 2000. He led the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and later became the Secretary General of African Youth Council and then that of the Commonwealth Youth Council. He was appointed by President Olusegun Obasanjo to chair the Presidential Advisory Council on Youths."

If not for money, thuggery and connection, how many of those senators would qualify to be there? Smart Adeyemi is talking rubbish. Even the president has been proven to have certificates, yet he is there.

If kogites truly follow your words and not just blindly follow party lines like the BBQGrillman, it is a clear choice for Dino. This is easy, both of them have been in the senate before. Dino has far more constituent projects than Smart. Dino has been far more accessible than smart, Dino also has assisted far more people to obtain jobs at MDAs. Smart might have more pre-politics job experience than Dino, but Dino has more academic exposure than Smart.

I dont know what kind of curse is on okun people and kogi in general. Both Dino and Smart are error. If okun people are here, u better listen. If u allow Smart to return, u own don pafuka. Because nah all ur constituency money will go for smart abandon projects in ilorin. Smart returns will belike return of abija.

. U need to learn more.. even though they are minorities in kogi state, they still constitute about 20 percent of the population.. And out of the three senators, yorubas always produce one, and about 2 reps....

Dino is gone! The worst malady to befall him was that rerun in the lifetime of Yahaya Bello's sitting as a governor. Bello will gladly lose his own governorship ambition than allow Dino win. Never!

We discus politics here and politics is about ruling people, that's what i listed.

When a politician ask such question, don't expect it to list factories you've work in.

The experience meant here is the one required to rule people, not to seal a sachet water in a factory.
