Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has alleged that former Kogi People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Dino Melaye did not vote when he contested the gubernatorial election in his state.
He made this known on Saturday while mocking the former Kogi Senator in a post he shared on his X page.
Speaking on Channels Television programme, ‘Politics Today’, Melaye said he regretted helping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to clinch power in 2023.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain said ”I regret supporting APC, I was blind then, now I can see.”
Melaye also insisted that Nigeria is currently in a precarious situation under the APC-led government.

Reacting to his comments, Olayinka described the former federal legislator as a former blind man and tree climber who refused to vote during a governorship election he contested in.
He wrote: “Dino Melaye ”I regret supporting APC, I was blind then, now I can see”
“ME: Good morning this evening FORMER BLIND MAN Dino Melaye, the TREE CLIMBER.
“But was it the blindness that made you not to vote in your own governorship election? Abi how person go dey house dey do Social Media contents and not vote on the day of his own election?”
In 2015, Dino Melaye defected to the APC but returned to the PDP in the build-up to 2019 elections after months of political struggle with former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello.
