Senator Dino Melaye whi is the Senator representing Kogi West District in the National Assembly, has distanced himself from the posters announcing
his presidential ambition.
Dino said the posters were not from him, stating that it is the work of mischief makers trying to distract him.
Nigerians were stunned last week after some posters were seen in some major cities indicating Dino’s interest to run for presidency.
The poster bore the image of the Kogi lawmaker dressed in a white
kaftan and a wine cap with the inscription, ‘vote Dino Melaye for
president 2019, ‘let’s take our tomorrow today. Enough of old age and
clueless.’
Reacting via a tweet on Sunday, Dino said he does not know anything about the posters.
He simply wrote, “disclaimer, this is not from me.”
Just last week, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted the lawmaker bail
in the sum of N100,000 and one surety, who is not less than a level 14
in the Federal Civil Service, over a 2-count charge against him for
allegedly giving false information to the police in relation to a claim
he made on April 17th of an attempt on his life.
