Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, drops the remix to his popular song, ‘Ajekun Iya’ at a comedy show organised by stand-up comedian Ayo Makun, popularly called ‘AY’.
The show which held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos state, featured Mr Melaye as one of the entertainers who thrilled the audience on Sunday.
Mr Melaye was approached by AY, who asked him to sing one of the popular songs the lawmaker uses to mock his political enemies.
Mr Melaye took the microphone and entertained the audience with a remix of his popular Yoruba song ‘Ajeku iya ni o je’.
Rather than the usual genre with which he sang the original song, the senator performed the choral rendition of the remix.
His performance got him applause from the crowd who were laughing all through his funny musical ‘interlude’.
Below is the video as posted on the yet-to-be verified twitter handle of the senator:
The words of the song goes:
Ajeku iya ni o je,
Ajeku iya ni o je,
Eni ti o t’oni na, to nd’ena deni;
Ajeku iya ni o je.
It is directly translated to mean:
You’ll receive the beating of your life,
You’ll receive the beating of your life,
When you ambush a man who’s more powerful than you;
You’ll receive the beating of your life
The organiser, AY, who probably intended to make fun of Dino Melaye retorted after the senators choral performance: ‘Dino to cook you go hard o!’, implying that the senator was not easy to handle.

Mr Melaye became more popular in the eighth Senate, being a staunch supporter of Senate President Bukola Saraki and a major critic of President Muhammadu Buhari and his state governor Yahaya Bello.
