Dino Melaye Defends His Refusal To Vote In Kogi State Guber Election by Esther125: 6:46am On Nov 14, 2023
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Kogi State governorship election, Dino Melaye, has said that his decision not to vote during the polls should not be blamed for his defeat.

Melaye came a distant third in the election, with Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) clinching the governorship seat.

There are claims that the former senator may have hampered his chances by refusing to vote during the Saturday poll.

But Dino argues: “People win elections from prison; whether I vote or not, it is immaterial.”

He said on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today: “The issue of voting or not voting has no legal status. People win elections in prison. Legally, it has no relevance to the election. Whether I voted or not, it is immaterial.”

If you don't vote for yourself, how can you convince others to vote for you?

That's how they all see we the masses. Their own votes don't matter they only go to their polling units to vote just for the media paparazzi capturings. They all know we are their sheep and they are the shepherd.

If a politician that didn't vote himself could have the effrontery to be crying on every tv station about how he was rigged out, then it shows they just see us the masses as an object.

Reminds me of trump in the US who votes by mail himself but was telling his followers that they use mail voting to rig elections that they shouldn't vote by mail. He was too lazy to walk down to a pooling box and cast his votes but just feeding his followers comes Cand B stories.

See everyone should just strive to make ends meet and personally conquer poverty and do well for yourself. Leaders are all the same in most countries now. They will sort themselves and their families/friends before they remember the masses if anything is left.

The forefathers of democracies in various countries had the people in mind but these new crops of leaders are dangerously selfish and we do their bids and kill ourselves for them.

Taking out fuel subsidy with no real framework as activating modular refineries, Dangote refinery etc, is bad enough.

Dino Melanie is not our problem, but the government forcing Nigerians into austerity while it refuses to cut down its expenditure is the real problem.

Dino Melaye, winning from prison is a different scenario. The person is obviously not there, and everyone knew why they weren't coming to vote including sympathy matters. You were fully present, refused to contribute one vote to ur winning after all the time and resources spent on campaigning. A vote can make a difference. You failed to motivate your supporters. Haba. It was rigged, yes, but u didn't try at all.

If you are not silly, you want people to vote for you and yet you couldn't make the effort to vote for yourself. Does that even make sense to you? People in prison win elections but were you in prison? kiss

He should not be talking then, you did not vote and want others to vote for you.
They said he refused to mobilize his party faithfuls a night to election.
He collected money from PDP Governors and banked it for himself, he played on their ignorance

You actually sent a wrong signal. Some may not bother coming out again to vote because of that your outburst.

You used your hand to do yourself. Edi abi asasi in Yoruba worked on you.

The comedian. You vote or not them go announce results. I wonder how any right thinking Kogite will vote for Dino with his lifestyle.

I am never a fan of yaya Bello. SDP was their best option.

Dino, yaya Bello na the same thing. Kogites should be praying for beef btw yaya Bello and ododo.
