Let me begin with this maxim ‘Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is the truth’ by Isaac newton.
I will like to appeal to everyone that will see this article not to be in a hurry to ‘stone’ me, especially before you finish reading it.
Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye is a stalwart of the All Progressive Congress(APC), one time member house of representatives representing the dynamic people of Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu, incumbent senator representing Kogi west senatorial district and Chairman Senate Committee on FCT.
The journey has not been a tarred and smooth one in terms of legislative and oversight function within the chamber and the general outlook of events in the country – a distraction too expensive to
playback and despite all, Senator Dino Melaye is shoning like a million star to the admiration of his fans, colleagues and his adversaries. Mention 109 Senators, and one name will stand out; Dino
Melaye’s doggedness in his early days at the lower legislative chamber were taken for granted. But his continuous believe in people oriented leadership won him the mandate to represent us at the upper chamber.
Senator Dino Melaye fondly called Dino, has so far sponsored a handful bills and motion in the house despite attempts by the cabals benefitting from the non-passage of this bill, Dino has pushed on not minding whose ox is gored to ensure good representation.
Constituency Project is a core responsibility of every elected personnel. However, since there are no standard gauges to measure performances, it is safe to say many can get away with funds meant to
cater for the constituency, payment of tution fees and obtaining free jamb forms provided by Dino Melaye to improve education Standard in the State. Dino’s Employment project into NDLEA, SUBEB, SURE-P, FIRS, CUSTOMS, and TEACHING SERVICES etc have been commended by Kogites at home and in the Diaspora. Electricity and Solar powered Motorized Borehole in about 15wards and various construction of roads, drainages and massive erosion control projects are but a few of Dino’s gleaming achievement within four(4) years at the lower chamber, For this reason, general believe is; he will achieve more if we are patient with him and put away side talks from oppositions who dont have the interest of the masses at heart.
Voice For the Voiceless: We are living at a time where it is more rewarding to keep quiet in the face of injustice as long as our relatives, friends are not involved. The former house of reps member;
Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye stands out among his peers when issues affecting the youths are on the front burner. Silence is golden, but not in the face of injustice; Dino Melaye constantly
engages with the youth via social media platforms to feel their pulse in order to act accordingly. His many goodwill initiatives will soonest earn him the status as the ‘most user friendly’ senator in
Nigeria; always precise and hitting the nail on the head without mincing words. Often regarded as a no nonsense politician revered by those in the opposition, Dino has carved a niche for himself as the
mouth piece of Nigerian youth.
It is in this regard that am appealing to the good people of Kogi West to continue to give support to Senator Dino Melaye admist staunch criticisms and oppositions because Dino has the Zeal focus and the commitment to take Kogi West to the next level.
