Dino Melaye, senator representing
Kogi west , has described the ongoing convention of the All Progressives Party
(APC) as a “joke”.
The lawmaker was elected on the
platform of the ruling party. He anchored most of the programmes of the party
in different parts of the country in the buildup to the last general election.
In a post on his Instagram page
on Saturday, Melaye expressed happiness “to be away from the joke going on in
Naija today,”.
He also posted picture of himself
at a train station in the UK
Melaye has been having a running
battle with the police. Two months ago, he was prevented from travelling
through the Nnamdi Azikwe international airport, Abuja.
His pleas that he was travelling
to Morocco on an official duty fell on deaf ears.
The police laid siege to his
residence, forcing him to surrender after ignoring several invitations.
While taking him to a court in
Lokoja, Kogi state capital, to charge him with gun running, Melaye jumped out
of a moving vehicle and landed in the hospital.
This did not stop the police from
arraigning him for gun running and criminal conspiracy. The trial is ongoing.
Melaye created a scene when he returned
to the senate after the brouhaha. He had
requested to sit with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
lawmakers.
He has been hinting at leaving
APC. He claims the charges against him were politically motivated.
