Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye on Friday caused a stir at the Exco chambers of the Akwa Ibom State Government House when he suddenly burst out singing praises of Governor Udom Emmanuel while also mocking fellow senator, Godswill Akpabio.
Melaye was among a handful of senators who accompanied the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on a solidarity visit to Mr Emmanuel in Uyo.
The solidarity visit to Uyo is generally seen as an effort to boost Governor Emmanuel’s morale after Akpabio, a senator and immediate past governor of the state defected from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Governor dey pass governor, hayaya! Udom pass Akpabio, hayaya!” Senator Melaye, from Kogi state, is seen in a video, singing into the microphone, prompting Governor Emmanuel and other dignitaries inside the Exco chambers of the Government House to burst into laughter.
Akpabio was instrumental to Udom’s emergence as governor in 2015. He is also believed to be the governor’s godfather in politics.
The video, which is just 41-seconds long, is being circulated on Facebook.
