Senator Dino Melaye has likened himself to the biblical Daniel who was thrown into the lions’ den and was taken out unscathed.
Melaye, in a tweet late Thursday, shared a campaign poster which read: “Lions can’t consume Daniel.”

He captioned the picture: “I am Daniel.”
Melaye will on November 16 re-contest Kogi West Senatorial election with his main challenger, Smart Adeyemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC), after the Court of Appeal on October 11 upheld the ruling of the tribunal which nullified Melaye’s election following a suit filed by Adeyemi.

The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election within 90 days from the date of judgement with all those who participated in it as eligible candidates.
Melaye had in the past boasted that he would defeat Adeyemi at any time or day in an election.
