Alleged Bribery: Dino Melaye, Smart Adeyemi Trade Accusations Over Election

The Senator Representing Kogi West, Senator Dino Melaye, and Senator Smart Adeyemi, on Sunday continued their bitter feud by trading accusations when they appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today.



Senator Adeyemi who lost the Kogi West Senatorial election to Senator Melaye in 2015 insisted that he won the election but the results were manipulated.
Melaye in turn denied the claim, describing Senator Adeyemi as a desperate man who was out to distort the truth.

Both men also traded accusations over their achievements and contributions to the constituency, while also disagreeing on the performance of the Kogi State Governor, Mr Yahaya Bello.
Senator Melaye, who was a staunch supporter of the governor in the early months of his tenure, has since fallen out with him and called for his resignation or impeachment.
Melaye made the call after the Independent National Electoral Commission accused the governor of registering twice to vote.

But Senator Adeyemi, who has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress defended the governor, saying he understood what he met when he was inaugurated.

On his election, Adeyemi alleged that Senator Melaye colluded with electoral officials and later on members of the judiciary to deny him justice.
“We contested elections and at the end of the day, I was told they had changed the results,” he said, while presenting what he said was a copy of the manipulated result sheet.
“These are the results; you can see alterations widely.”
Melaye while speaking asked God almighty to forgive Adeyemi for the lies he has told against him. Both men were interviewed simultaneously yesterday.

"I ask that the almighty God who is the supreme controller of the universe forgive Smart Adeyemi for all the lies he has told this night. He should be aware that these lies have been recorded and will be used against him especially in the court of law.
 I want to say that that tape is a product of a satanic collabo between Smart Adeyemi, Sahara Reporters and others. I want to assure you that they are wasting their time. If they have any authenticity in the lies they are projecting, they should approach the police approach relevant security agencies to prosecute me.

 Senator Smart is a desperate person. The same reason why he left PDP for APC thinking he is going to be appointed Minister. He did not get that Ministerial appointment and that is why he left PDP. He is my political wife any day and I challenge him to an election 1000 times, I will defeat him. He has no base in Kogi state. He has no personal structure or building in the length and breadth of Kogi state apart from the three bungalow room he built for his mother. I have investments in Kogi state. None of his investments is in Kogi state. The people saw through him that he has always lied and deceived them” he said
