Dino Melaye, Senator representing
Kogi West Senatorial District has
accused Bola Tinubu,National leader
of the All Progressives Congress, APC
of trying to make him lose his senate
seat because he supported Bukola
Saraki's emergence as senate
President.
According to Melaye, Tinubu is
helping Senator Smart Adeyemi, who
is currently challenging his electoral
victory at the Court of Appeal.
PUNCH reports that Melaye made the
accusation on Sunday in Abuja.
Speaking to newsmen he said that
Tinubu had contacted the immediate-
past Attorney-General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice,
Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), to
take over the legal battle on behalf of
Adeyemi.
''I have no regret supporting Senator
Saraki and my electoral victory was
ordained by God and not by man.
Therefore, no mortal can reverse it. In
God I trust, no matter how desperate
they might be. I am privy to an
electronic mail sent to Adoke by an
Abuja-based senior editor who is close
to Tinubu in which he forwarded the
court papers filed by Smart Adeyemi
at the tribunal to Adoke.
''In the said e-mail, Adoke was told to
look for a trusted justice in the Court
of Appeal who would be useful for
Smart Adeyemi'',Melaye said.
Melaye has already won the election
petition case at the tribunal, the case
is currently headed to a court of law.
