Senator Dino Melaye Expresses Displeasure, Seeks Repayment Amidst Allegations of Misappropriation in Election Expenditure
Senator Dino Melaye has voiced frustration over what he perceives as a betrayal in the recent elections, demanding reimbursement after allegedly doling out N250,000 per polling unit for vote-buying.
The PDP’s election expenditure breakdown reveals N87 million allocated for “voter’s mobilization,” a thinly veiled term for vote-buying.
Melaye is reportedly aggrieved, accusing a PDP Local Government Chairman, his campaign Director-General, and others of failing to secure the desired election outcome.
Sources claim that Melaye released N3,510,000 per polling unit for local security, only to have the funds diverted by a party official.
The senator is now seeking a refund amid dissatisfaction with the election results.
