Bello, INEC, FG, security agents, after me – Senator Melaye

The embattled lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial
District, Senator Dino Melaye, has described the ruling by a
Federal High Court Abuja which failed to grant his application to
stop his recall from the Senate as appealable.

Melaye, in his reaction to the ruling on Monday, alleged that
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, Independent National Electoral
Commission, top Federal Government officials, and top security
officers were behind his travails.

He said, “My great people of Kogi West Senatorial District of
Kogi state, in the face of obvious persecution and appealable
judgement of the Federal High Court Abuja today, let not your heart
be troubled. Lies will never overtake or conquer truth.

“The presence of the Kogi State Attonery General and
Commissioner for Justice in court today over a matter that Kogi
State is not joined as a party shows the clear collaborative
efforts of INEC and Kogi State Government. However, these combined
efforts of Governor Yahaya Bello, INEC, top Federal Government
officials and top security agents to harangue and stampede me out
of the Senate against the will of Kogi West constituents will fail
woefully. He who is with me from above is greather than all of them
put together.

“I will not stop speaking truth to authority. Kogi State
Government must pay workers’ salaries and pay pensioners. We cannot
all sleep facing one side of the bed. We shall overcome this
temporary Shenanigan in the long run. We will neither sleep nor
slumber on this. I use this opportunity to thank my dear
constituents for their abiding love for and confidence shown
towards me. God bless you all. Imole de, okunkun parada!”
