The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has refuted media reports that he was planning to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following his failure to secure the party's governorship ticket ahead of the November governorship election in the state.
The fiery Senator debunked the defection claim on Monday via his official twitter handle. According to him, only ‘foolish and stupid’ people will decamp from PDP to APC.
The Senator also expressed optimism that the APC will be roundly defeated in forthcoming Kogi governorship election. His tweet read
“Only compound fools and people with degree in stupidity will leave PDP for APC. APC will be defeated in Kogi State”.
Dailypost recalls that the Senator rejected the party’s appointment as the Director-General of the Kogi State PDP Governorship Campaign Council.
His tweet last Friday rejecting the offer sparked speculations that the Senator might dump the PDP.
He had tweeted, “Let me state categorically that I have turned down the position of the Director-General of the Kogi State Governorship Campaign Council. I wish PDP all the best. When truth is a casualty, there is chaos.”
