Senator representing Kogi West,
in the National Assembly Dino Melaye has said that the autocratic reign of Kogi
State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello will soon come to an end in the State.
The embattled Senator who
described the governor as another Pharaoh assured Kogites that the Egyptians
they see today, they shall see them no more.
Melaye, while addressing newsmen
in Lokoja on Friday, described the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Smart Adeyemi as his ‘political wife’.
He assured electorate in the
state that their votes will count as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will
frustrate all rigging plans in the forthcoming elections.
The embattled Senator was in
Lokoja, the state capital, in continuation of his ‘Thank You’ tour of all
political wards in Kogi West. He toured communities in Kogi/Koton Karfe local
government area of the state on Thursday.
He told the cheering supporters
at St. Luke Primary School Adankolo that his opponent, Smart Adeyemi is his
good ‘customer’.
“The forthcoming Kogi West senate
election is between me and my political wife, Smart Adeyemi. He is my wife. He
is a good customer.
“I want to assure you all, by the
grace of God, PDP candidates will emerge victorious in the forthcoming
elections. Please, let us defend our votes, after voting don’t go home, stay
and count your votes. After counting, stay for the announcement. They cannot
intimidate us. The reign of King Pharaoh in Kogi state is coming to an end and
these Egyptians you see today, you shall see no more. We are going to defeat
them mercilessly,” he said.
He expressed confidence that
President Muhammadu Buhari will lose the next presidential election.
Melaye said the large crowd of
voters that graced each venue of the ‘thank you’ tour is an indication that the
people are tired of the Federal and Kogi state governments.
“I feel very happy. The responses
across Lokoja are positive. It shows that the people are not happy with the
government. This is a referendum against the federal and Kogi state government.
“From the responses so far, it is
obvious that the people are living in pervasive hunger. It shows that the
non-payment of salaries and pensions have completely disconnected the people
from government. It shows there is a lot of work to be done by us when we win
elections. We will correct the anomalies.
“The people have decided and we
will not allow our elections to be rigged. We have credible information that
they sowing military and police uniforms. We will defend our votes, we will
defend our votes and PDP will be victorious,” he added.
