The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya
Bello has addressed threat surrounding his return as Governor of Kogi State
following Dino Melaye’s emergence in the 2019 governorship race.
Bello, who spoke with newsmen at
the Kebbi Governor’s lodge in the Asokoro area of Abuja, shortly after the
Progressive Governors’ Forum on Sunday night, dismissed the threat by Senator
Dino Melaye to unseat him as a none issue.
He expressed confidence of
emerging as winner of the forthcoming governorship election in the state on
Sunday, stating that to prevail over him at the governorship election, Dino
Melaye must be prepared to pass through the eye of the needle.
The Governor said: “In Kogi
state, we know the election is coming up and of course, a lot of people will
come out for the challenge. But the reality is that we are on ground. From
within the party to the General election, we are not just talking of victory,
we ‘re talking of the margin of the victory of APC over any other party that
will come next because of what we have been able to do in the stage delivering
on all our promises.
“You are going to see election
like never before. Kogi election is going to be as smooth as anything and we
are very confident of victory.”
On Senator Melaye posing threat
to his re-election, Bello said, “anytime you talk, we should talk of somebody
that is good. Apart from that person you are talking of, let him justify the
mandate given to him by showing his people what he has done. For him to come
and challenge me means that he is ready to pass through the eye of the needle.”
