Senator Dino Melaye says APC convention is a joke

The lawmaker representing Kogi west Senatorial zone, Dino Melaye has described the ongoing convention of the All Progressives Party (APC) as a “joke”.

In a post on his Instagram page on Saturday, Melaye expressed happiness “to be away from the joke going on in Naija today,”.


He also posted picture of himself at a train station in the UK.

Two months ago, Melaye was prevented from travelling through the Nnamdi Azikwe international airport, Abuja. The police laid siege to his residence, forcing him to surrender after ignoring several invitations.


Melaye created a scene when he returned to the senate after the brouhaha. He had  requested to sit with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers.

He has been hinting at leaving APC. He claims the charges against him were politically motivated.
