Senator Dino Melaye in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ayodele Gideon has said, 'No amount of threat, blackmail, name-calling and/or harassment will stop me from being the voice of the voiceless and the mouthpiece of the common man'.

His statement comes after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt over the weekend.

Read the statement below...

Senator Dino Melaye has expressed deep shock over the assassination attempt on his life late on Friday 14th April 2017 in his constituency residence in Aiyetoro-Gbede, Kogi West Senatorial District, He described the situation as unfortunate, regretable, highly disturbing and very strange to the socio-political.culture of Kogi West senatorial district. The Senator thanked the Almighty God for sparing his life as he declares that God is his "Rock and Salvation".

Senator Dino Melaye declared his unrelented resolution to continue to champion democratic courses targeted at good governance, masses empowerment and the Rule of Law. He promised never to relent in his fight against corruption, maladministration, impunity and nepotism. Said the Senator, "No amount of threat, blackmail, name-callng and/or harassment will stop me from being the voice of the voiceless and the mouthpiece of the common man".

He also expressed outrage and disbelief that four (4) days after the attempt on his life, the Kogi State governor, the Chief Security Officer ofthe State, has neither called nor visited to know the state of affairs with him as a serving Senator from Kogi State. Said the Senator, "The Governor's deafening silence speaks volumes".

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.

Chief Awoniyi and Chief Daniyan (both of blessed memory) had their strong differences. Senator Dino Melaye and Prince Olusola Akanmode also had their differences. Arc. Stephen Olorunfemi and Prince Olusola Akanmode and Tunde Ogbeha, also had their differences. Senator Dino Melaye and Senator.Smart Adeyemi had their serious political differences.Non of these differences was ever escalated to the horrendous level of assassination attempt. 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.

Senator Melaye called on Kogi Elders, Traditional Leaders and Opinion Leaders to call for order and restraint. 'It may be Dino Melaye today, we don't know who is next'.

The aggitation for good governance, payment of worker's salaries and welfare of pensioners should not be punished with assassination..
Long live Kogi West
Long live Kogi State

Have you made any point? His kinsmen elected him?
So they shouldn't criticize him if they elected him?
You come online thinking everyone reasons with sentiments just because you do?
This is why we'd never progress.

Voice of the voiceless, the mass supporter.. To be sincere I haven't seen where you raised an issue in the house that has to do with masses, more over your present camp has not to do with masses. Conservative agenda that what your camp preach, we have seen where you opposed general expected matter to scale through and the whole get halted..
