Students & former student leaders Forum in Delta State has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign spokesman, Senator Dino Melaye as a court jester and a misfit who should be not the face of any serious party in a saner clime.
It stated adding since PDP is in disarray, the party has gone for the worse of Nigeria to market a bad product.
The group called on Deltans to ignore Melaye’s ranting noting that Deltans won’t be distracted by the antics of those who cannot successfully manage a home and have continuously displayed a maladjusted personality.
Describing Melaye as a failed politician for not securing a senatorial ticket in Kogi West, the group said he wants remain relevant by calling Delta governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ovie Omo-Agege names.
The Forum in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Godfrey Regha while reacting to a comment credited to Dino Melaye on Tuesday during the PDP presidential campaign rally at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, said that no one takes him seriously.
It added, his view will not change Deltans’ determination to vote out the PDP.
The forum demanded answers on how the N4.2 trillion which accrued to the State in the past seven and half years was spent without visible projects.
“PDP should be ashamed of parading a man like Melaye as his image maker. It shows the quality of people Atiku will recruit to run Nigeria if voted as President, but our people a wiser now, with Melaye, Atiku will turn governance into a circuit.
“Melaye should go back to Kogi State and clear his name of how he diverted items meant for Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in the North West to his home town in Ayetoro-Gbede, according to the then Kogi state chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Mr Toufiq Isah.
“A fugitive of the law, who was crying like a bush baby on national television to evade police arrest for culpable homicide and for giving Police False Information should be kept in solitary conferment in a saner clime but Atiku wants to rehabilitate him by making him the face of its campaign.
“It is obvious that PDP is in disarray and the gale of defection that has hit them in recent times has made them more confused. Deltans has made up their mind to vote out Okowa and his group of borrowers. Let them tell us what they used our N4.7 trillion for.
“Attacking Ovie Omo-Agege will not change Deltans mind about voting out the PDP, Deltans are tired of being in bondage,” the statement reads.
