A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has mocked the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, for coming third.
Fani-Kayode, a member of the PDP before joining the All Progressives Congress, spoke in a terse statement.
In the statement on Monday, the former member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council said it was shameful that despite all the boasts by Melaye, he could only come third.
He said that the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, also called the White Lion, has made good his threat to retire the former representative of Kogi West Senatorial District and ex-House of Representatives from politics.
The Eagle Online recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday night declared the candidate of the APC for the poll, Usman Ododo, as the winner.
The candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Muritala Ajaka, came second, while Melaye was third.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode said: “Poor Dino.
“Despite all his loud and boastful rantings, puerile noise-making, clownish behaviour, crude bum-fuckery, infantile court-jesting, nauseating gorilla-dancing, gratutious insults, foul-mouthed bluster, tough guy ‘gra gra’ and area boy antics and in spite of his membership of the ‘Bugger Me Stiff United Football Club’, he received the flogging and trouncing of his pitiful life in the Kogi state Governorship election.
“Out of the 751,000 votes that were cast he could not even muster up to 47,000. That is approximately 5%.
“Worst still he came in a very distant third in the race and some have even said fourth!
“How sad!
“This is a man that was once elected as a House of Reps member and a Senator!

“This is a man that mocked PBAT for his age, called him a drug dealer, accused him of being a drug addict, threatened to violate the honor of the First Lady, rolled all over the floor during the presidential campaign rallies in the name of depicting our President as an invalid and geriatric and threatened us with hell, fire and brimstone if Asiwaju won.
“Well today he is where he is and politically its all over for him. How are the mighty fallen!
“It appears that the White Lion of Kogi made good his promise and has retired him from politics permanently.
“My heart goes out to him.”
