THE senator representing Kogi west senatorial district, Dino Melaye, has said that the gang up against him would be defeated.

Reacting to the judgment of the Federal High Court that gave the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the nod to continue with his recall from senate, Melaye said the collaborative efforts aimed at unseating him would fail.

According to him, the combined efforts of Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, INEC, top Federal government officials and top security agents to “harangue and stampede” him out of the Senate against the will of Kogi West constituents would fail woefully.

The senator said “He who is with me from above is greater than all of them put together. I will not stop speaking truth to authority. Kogi state government must pay workers salaries and pay pensioners.

“My great people of Kogi West senatorial district of Kogi State, in the face of obvious persecution and appealable judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Monday. Let not your heart be troubled, lies will never overtake or conquer truth.

“The presence of the Kogi State Attonery General and Commissioner for Justice in Court today over a matter that Kogi State is not joined as a party shows the clear collaborative efforts of INEC and Kogi State government.

“We cannot all sleep facing one side of the bed. We shall overcome this temporary shenanigan in the long run. We will neither sleep nor slumber on this. I use this oppotunity to thank my dear constituents for their abiding love for and confidence shown towards me.

“God bless you all Imole De Okunkun parada!”
