SAN FRANCISCO, September 11, (THEWILL) – Senator Dino Melaye, member representing Kogi West senatorial district of Kogi State, has vowed not to stop speaking truth to authority.

“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, today. Let not your heart be troubled,” he said
“Efforts of Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the INEC, top Federal Government officials and top security agents to harangue and stampede me out of the Senate against the will of Kogi West constituents will fail woefully.
“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. 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 shenanigans 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.”
