Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has eventually bares his mind on Senator Dino Melaye: “When a child lacked proper parental care and home upbringing, he would constitute social menace to the society.”

“If the society did not take steps to check and correct such a child, he or she could take into criminality. At that stage, it would be left to the government to check such criminality. If government failed to do so, such a child could cause a serious embarrassment. This is what is happening in Kogi State.”

“Talking of the Senate, let me rather admonish the Senate that, that is an institution that is held in a very high esteem and I think the Senate and indeed the National Assembly is made up of men of high calibre and of high integrity and good character.”

“I think it is necessary that that wonderful house should, as a matter of urgency, and as a matter of fact, check any social deviant that exists within them before they could be adjudged birds of the same feather. I know they are not of the same feather.”

“But sincerely speaking, Kogi State is living in peace, projects are ongoing, we are all happy over there. Salaries are being paid as and when due and we are making serious progress. Melaye’s claim that I have earmarked N1bn for his recall is a figment of his imagination.”

“The good people of Okunland and indeed West Senatorial District have learnt from a bitter mistake of not taming and curbing that social deviant (Melaye) and they have decided to take lawful steps in recalling him.”
