Some Nigerians has taken to social media page to mock Dino Melaye, while others blamed him for arrogance and pride, others insisted that the election was rigged.

Contrary to their wishes, @MBuhari is still very much alive.
He's still the leader of our great nation.
Dino Melaye on the other hand, is now an ExSenator going by d results coming from Kogi West.

He can now face his acting career & his pending criminal charges. #SaiBabaBuhari pic.twitter.com/cJj6HU5MA0

Kogi: Dino Melaye pursued two rats and missed all.
He wanted to be governor and senator at the same time.
He lost everything.
