Senator Dino Melaye has reacted to his removal as Kogi West Senator by the Kogi State National Assembly/State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.
Melaye (PDP) was declared winner in the February election by INEC but Senator Smart Adeyemi (APC) approached the tribunal, challenging INEC declaration on three grounds of irregularities, over voting and non-compliance with the electoral acts.
He tweeted;
“On Tribunal judgement. No cause 4 alarm at all. Even if it went my way they will still go to the Appeal Court. Our mandate can not be taken.”
“We will get judgment at the Appeal Court. There will be Fresh election in Kogi West because I will be Governor. For my Senate mandate no shaking.”
“He who laugh last, laugh best…KOGI Governor loading”.
