I just lost my election at the Appeal Court and Fresh election ordered. In all things I give God the Praise. He who started a good thing will definitely complete it. I ask my supporters to be law abiding as we shall always overcome. To God be the Glory.— Senator Dino Melaye. (SDM) (@dino_melaye) October 11, 2019
