Following National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal’s judgment on Friday, Senator Dino Melaye has vowed to appeal the judgment in court, adding that his mandate can’t be taken.
He reacted to the verdict in several tweets on Friday, appealing to his fans not to be worried.
In the tweet with a picture and a caption; “He who laugh(sic) last, laugh best…KOGI Governor loading.”
He said in a second tweet, in the aftermath of the verdict.
“On Tribunal judgement. No cause 4 alarm at all. Even if it went my way they will still go to the Appeal Court. Our mandate can not be taken. We will get judgment at the Appeal Court. There will be fresh election in Kogi West bc I will be Governor. For my Senate mandate no shaking,” he said.
Melaye, who is also gunning for the Kogi governorship post in November believes he “will laugh last’, insinuating that his rival’s victory at the tribunal was pyrrhic because ‘there will be fresh election in Kogi West and he will be governor”.
