The African Democratic Congress has mocked the Learnership candidate of the people s Democratic party,PDP Senator Dino Melaye who was allegedly scammed into believing that members of the party has collapsed it’s structure in Idah to support him

This followed story earlier on Sunday which stated that all members of the ADC in Idah led by the Chairman of the party in the local government, Adejo Haruna had declared total support for the former lawmaker.

A statement issued on Sunday denied the claim adding that Dino Melaye had been scammed.

“Our attention has been drawn to a press statement laced with a 40 second video by the Governorship candidate of the People’s Democractic Party, PDP, talking about the ‘collapsed of ADC structure” in Idah Council area of the state.

In the said video, only Dino Melaye spoke to the imaginary ADC audience. No single face of the audience was shown, neither was the “ADC party materials’ the supposedly decampee brought was made open.

Of course, a discerning mind will know the story is not true. But we were not surprised that such falsehood was been peddled by the media handlers of the PDP Governorship candidate.

For a start, the name of the African Democractic Congress Chairman for Idah council area is Adejo Ameadaji from Igalogba ward. Definitely, if it has been true that anybody visited or received Dino it’s to scam him – and they succeeded.

According to the statement signed by Adaji John, State Chairman,ADC,”This development is purely fake, and a move to extort Dino. The face showing in the video is not an ADC party member, infact he is an ibaji man to the best of our knowledge and not a member of our party.

Those faceless persons led by the ghost Adejoh Haruna whom the camera intentionally didn’t captured must have played on the low intelligence of Melaye or to pay him back in his own coins – because it is in public domain that Melaye is a scammer and mentor of scammers. This is purely a case of ‘Scamming the Scammer”.

The Press statement and the 40 second video has effectively proven that Melaye is a purveyor of falsehoods. And we are worried that Mr. Melaye is already threading the pact of APC and Yahaya Bello who have been chunning out media reports of receiving series of fake decampees.

Unlike the governor who managed to back his kangaroo decamping stories with some pictures, Dino Melaye failed to show any – this is the new low of peddling fake news that the PDP candidate has been associated with for a long time, just to confuse the people of the state of phyric relevance.

The crude falsehood from Dino Melaye would have been wished away save for the fact that innocent electorates may be confused about the stand of the ADC in the November 11 Governorship election. And for the sake of the naive populace, we ask them to disregard the purported news.

We want to emphasise that no single member of the ADC in Idah has decamped or defected to the PDP, least of all collapsing any structure for Melaye. In emphasy, The name of the Idah ADC chairman is Adejo Ameadaji and not the ghost Adejoh Haruna. The State Chairman of ADC, Mr. John Adaji can be contacted in case of any doubt by the media members or the innocent populace.

The fictitious name must have played a fast one on Dino. We have no sympathy for him that he was scammed, our concern is about our teeming supporters and innocent citizens not to fall pry of the quickest celebration of falsehoods by Dino Melaye.

We challenge the Ghost Chairman and his Buy-in Melaye to produce those ADC materials so that law enforcement agencies can do their job properly.

Our good people of Kogi State, kindly ignore these desperate falsehoods. ADC is still in course to liberate our state from satanic stronghold.

Our candidate, Hon. Leke Abejide still remains the leading governorship candidate in Kogi State and he is poised to liberate the state”. He added.
