Dino Melaye recall: 4 politicians that might save him

The Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has described his recall process as a hoax. According to him, many appointees of the Kogi state government would go to jail over forgery.

However, as the threat of recall seems to grow more real as the day passes, who might be able to save Dino Melaye? Below is a list of some:

1. Senator Bukola Saraki

Despite the allegations of corruption hanging on him, Melaye's pledged loyalty to Senate president, Bukola Saraki is undivided.

He once said that if the whole country turns its back at Saraki, he will remain his only supporter. Recently, at the acquittal of Saraki of false assets charges at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Melaye lifted Saraki in the tribunal, showing that no man can pull him down.

During this trying times, Saraki may come to the rescue of his 'god-son'.

2. Senator Ike Ekweremadu

Ike Ekweremadu is Nigeria's deputy Senate president. Though a PDP lawmaker, he pitches tent with the likes of Dino Melaye and Saraki.
