The All Progressives Congress,
APC, National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has declared that there was
no hope that Dino Melaye would return to the Senate as the Senator representing
Kogi West again.
Oshiomhole spoke at the APC
Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the party’s national secretariat on
Friday.
He boasted that the senator
representing Kogi West would next weekend, join the other 15 National Assembly
members that rebelled against the party.
“Mr President, I also believe, it
is significant to point out that those who rebel against this party, who sought
to bring us down, who decamped at a critical moment, believing that their
defection would destabilise us and we would have no enough time to make up, 16
of them (would have regretted their action).
“By the special grace of God,
Nigerian electorate have chosen to punish them with their PVCs and their ballot
papers. They were all voted out, and APC senators were voted in to replace
them. The electorate also elected more members of House of Representatives on
the APC platform.
“There is one that is still
struggling but as it is, he is at 20,000 feet below ground level and he’s
hoping that there would be a miracle that would bring him to ground level and
climb the tree to the Senate but by the special grace of God, under your
leadership, that deficit, there will be no miracles in the election,
particularly when they are free and fair.
“God willing, by the end of the
month, when the re-run in Kogi State would be done, the 16th stubborn one will
go the way of the other 15.
“That for me is remarkable
because the message is clear that gradually but steadily when anyone who went
to UAE… in this case, those who rode on the back of Mr President to win election
and turned round to monetise it and use that same power to attack not only the
Presidency but to attack the institution of our party. I think those lessons
will linger,” he said.
