Dino Melaye ‘ll join Saraki, others in retirement- Oshiomhole


National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole, has boasted that the senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, will next weekend, join the other 15 National Assembly members that rebelled against the party, noting that Nigerians punished the Bukola Saraki-led rebels by retiring them.

Oshiomhole, who made jest of former Senate President Bukola Saraki and fourteen other Senators who left APC in 2018 to the PDP said they have been all defeated.

Speaking at the party’s NEC meeting on Friday, Oshiomhole however lamented that in-fighting and internal wranglings denied the party re-election in Bauchi, Adamawa states, even as he assured that APC will reclaim its stolen mandate in Sokoto state.

“Mr President, I have chosen to amplify where we lost but we also made some gains that quite understanding. I’m sure it is glading the heart of every APC member and even APC well wishers that the man who led rebellion against our party, former Senate President, that people of Kwara state did not only denied him return to the Senate, they also voted out every element in PDP and today from the governorship we won, Senators we won and of course the House of Representatives and state House of Assembly.

“I think our victory in Kwara state for me was most outstanding. I think we now generally refer to Kwara with Pride as the Otooge revolution.”
