Dino Melaye Denies Receiving N3bn From Atiku And Dangote, Labels Claims As Fake News

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dino Melaye, has strongly denied allegations of receiving N3 billion from both Atiku Abubakar and Aliko Dangote for the Kogi elections.

At a dinner hosted in his honor by his campaign organization in Abuja,  Melaye addressed the allegations, labeling them as the tactics of his detractors aiming to undermine his campaign.

According to Melaye, the speculation that he collected “N1 billion from Atiku and N2 billion from Dangote was fake news peddled by betrayers.

“One of the lessons is that the East now know more than ever before, that they cannot become governor alone. You will have to collaborate with other zones to become governor.

“The second lesson is also for those of us from the west. Next time, we should listen to the words of wisdom from our elders and not from commercialized characters who because of their individual and selfish interests created problems for us.

“Because at the end of the day, what our elders have been saying that this will be the worst (election) for us, is eventually what happened.”

Kanyi Daily recalls that the Chairman of All Progressive Congress in Kogi State, Abdullahi Bello had mocked Dino Melaye, the People’s Democratic Party candidate in the recent off-cycle election.
