Dino Melaye apologizes to ex-President Jonathan for role in election defeat

Senator Dino Melaye has apologized publicly to former President Goodluck Jonathan while he was in power.

The Senator who represented the Kogi West Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly
during a public presentation and launching of Jonathan’s book in Abuja, apologized over his role that made Jonathan lose the second term of office in 2015.

While delivering a goodwill message, Dino said, “I Senator Dino Melaye, I want to say openly here that after many things that have happened and events that have unfolded in recent times, I want to say openly here that once I was blind, now I can see.”

“In 2017, I was arrested 8 times. There were more times in 2018 and between then and now, I have been taken to court for 12 different cases, and out of those cases, we have won 11 of them.

“President Jonathan, I want to say that on behalf of all of us who shot blindly, we are sorry. The one that I later wondered why you did was that phone call.

“I sometimes wonder that if you had not made that call, we would not be where we are today.”
