Despite the tragic-comic drama that Dino Melaye headlined as the general elections approached, he has been reelected into the Senate.
Even when on the floor of the Upper Chamber, he is drama personified.
The attributes that many thus see as constituting nuisance, however, appears to have paid off for him as his people in the Kogi West Senatorial District have given him nod for another term.
The Returning Officer, Prof. Emmanuel Bala, announced in the early hours of Monday in Lokoja that Melaye polled 85, 395 votes to defeat Smart Adeyemi of the APC who scored 66, 901 votes.
Also, Alhaji Abdulkarim Isah – Wambai of the APC has been declared winner of the House of Representatives election for Lokoja-Koto federal constituency.
The returning officer, Prof. Muhammed Suleiman said that Wambai scored 37, 656 votes to beat Mr Shaba Ibrahim of PDP who polled 33,662 votes.
