The lawmaker representing Kogi
West in the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye, said his decision to oppose
the alleged oppressive leadership of the present administration made him escape
four assassination attempts between 2018 and 2019.
Melaye, who was speaking at a
media parley in Lokoja on Wednesday to declare his governorship ambition, said
he won’t stop criticizing the Yahaya Bello led-APC government until the right
thing is done for the people.
He observed that his criticisms
of the present administration also led to his arraignment in 18 different
courts in one year.
The federal lawmaker while
disclosing reasons Kogi was yet to meet up with other states in terms of
development, said the state lacks visionary leaders who could transform ideas
to meaningful development.
He described himself as a
political general, adding that it was untrue that he was working for a
particular candidate ahead of the November 16th governorship polls.
Melaye added that he remains the
best candidate to fly the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to challenge
the incumbent governor who he alleged has continued to impoverished the people
in the last three and half years.
His words “I will challenge
Governor Bello pumper to pumper. I can’t be intimidated by the constant
harassment by the APC led government.
“I am using this medium to
challenge the NUJ to organize a debate among all the aspirants vying for the
number one seat of this state. I am very convinced that some candidates will be
taken off from here with an ambulance because they lack idea. Other aspirants
have money than idea, but Dino Melaye has idea than money.”
