The final result for the local government was announced on Sunday morning.
Mr Adeyemi’s APC polled a total of 11,627 votes to defeat Mr Melaye’s who amassed 7,647 votes in the local government, according to the electoral commission, INEC.
I know it’s going to be the final battle of Dino in Kogi politics. He missed it before now, therefore, he should join Nollywood and continue his life. A lesson anyway.
