Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has said the
alleged audio tape of him allegedly bribing a Tribunal judge, Justice Akon
Ikpeme was a “satanic collabo” among the platform that revealed the tape, his
predecessor, ex-Senator Smart Adeyemi and others.
Recall that an online medium had last week leaked an audio
tape of Justice Ikpeme allegedly demanding bribe from Melaye.
The media outfit later claimed that the Judge in a bid to
get a soft landing confessed to receiving bribe twice from Melaye because he
handled the lawmaker’s cases twice.
But, featuring on Channels Television, the Kogi West Senator
dismissed the report which he linked to Adeyemi.
He went further to described Adeyemi who he defeated in the
2015 senatorial election in his zone as his political wife who he will defeat
in any election 1000 times.
Melaye said, “He asked God almighty to forgive Adeyemi for
the lies he has told against him. Both men were interviewed simultaneously
yesterday.
“I ask that the almighty God who is the supreme controller
of the universe forgive Smart Adeyemi for all the lies he has told this night.
He should be aware that these lies have been recorded and will be used against
him especially in the court of law.
“I want to say that that tape is a product of a satanic
collabo between Smart Adeyemi, Sahara Reporters and others. I want to assure
you that they are wasting their time. If they have any authenticity in the lies
they are projecting, they should approach the police approach relevant security
agencies to prosecute me.
“Senator Smart is a desperate person. The same reason why he
left PDP for APC thinking he is going to be appointed Minister. He did not get
that Ministerial appointment and that is why he left PDP. He is my political
wife any day and I challenge him to an election 1000 times, I will defeat him.
“He has no base in Kogi state. He has no personal structure
or building in the length and breath of Kogi state apart from the three
bungalow room he built for his mother. I have investments in Kogi state. None
of his investments is in Kogi state. The people saw through him that he has
always lied and deceived them.”
