A civil rights activist and former member of the House of Representatives, Otunba Dino Melaye, on Monday clinched the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the Kogi West Senatorial District in the 2015 general election.
He will slug it out with the incumbent, former National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Smart Adeyemi of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Adeyemi's victory was shocking, as he upstaged Tunde Ogbeha and Gen. David Jemibewon (Rtd) and defeated their anointed 'son'.
According to the Chairman, APC Primary Election Committee in Kogi State, Engr. Ebitei Francis and the Secretary, Hon. Bala Ajeje, Melaye scored 2,077 of the votes to defeat his rival, Bidemi Adeyemi, who received 326 votes.
