The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Kogi West senatorial rerun election, Dino Melaye, said the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, is suffering from “diarrhea of the mouth” for saying he would soon be sacked from the Senate.
Melaye was reacting to the comments made by Oshiomhole while speaking with State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, last week.
The APC declared that the PDP Senator would be defeated during the rerun election in Kogi State.
In a statement issued on Monday, Melaye said his seat would not be vacant and he would continue to be a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the grace of God in the next four years.
He said: “The verbal diarrhea by the Chairman of APC boasting that 16 of us left the APC and I am the only one standing and in a matter of days, he said I will leave the Senate; I want to say that is human verdict but there is a God verdict.
“My seat will not be vacant, I will continue to be a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the grace of God in the next four years.
“I won that election and we have our pink copies of all our unit results. These have been tabulated and clearly, I won that election and Smart Adeyemi, in his good conscience, knows that I won that election.”
