The former Nigerian lawmaker that represented Kogi west in the senate recently lost an election to Senator Smart Adeyemi in a controversial rerun election which had to go for second round before it was announced.
Many Nigerians consider Dino Melaye as arrogant, talkative and a rude politician but the truth of the matter is that Dino stands out as an exceptional lawmaker different from the ones we've had and the incumbents lawmakers!
Dino is a kind of lawmaker that speaks straight from his mind, he doesn't hide anything, Dino is fearless, he is confident and very funny. He possesses all the qualities of a good lawmaker. Being human, Dino has his lapses, he made many mistakes and some questionable decisions during his time in the National Assembly example, Fighting Oluremi Tinubi publicly, booing the president during the 2019 budget presentation etc, but he must not be painted all black because he has his positive sides too.
I can confidently bet that Dino would not support bills that are against the wish of the masses example; Federal Government's $30BN loan, Increase in the electricity tariff and the increase in the value added tax (VAT)
The upper chamber wouldn't have been a 'rubber stamp' with Dino in it, that for sure.
That is why all reasonable Nigerians irrespective of their political, tribal, or religious affiliations are missing Dino Melaye.
Its indeed painful that Dino is gone!
