The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in Kogi has constituted its gubernatorial campaign council ahead of the state’s
election in November.
In a statement on Friday, Tijani
Yusuf, director-general of the council, said experienced politicians across the
three senatorial zones were selected to make up the council.
Last week, Dino Melaye, senator
representing Kogi west, said he rejected the DG role.
“Let me state categorically that
I have turned down the position of Director-General of the PDP Kogi State
Governorship Campaign Council. I wish PDP all the best. When the truth is a
casualty there is chaos,” he had tweeted.

Melaye was only able to garner 70
votes. He came fourth in the primary election which was won by Musa Wada,
brother of Idris Wada, ex-governor of Kogi.
The DG said Wada is competent to
be governor of the state.
“Many Kogites worry that the
ruling party in the state comprises so-called leaders who have always been
associated with cooking up mischief and who will stop at nothing, including
shooting a gathering of innocent people who do not believe in them but we plead
for non-violence,” Yusuf said.
“Our candidate, Engr. Musa Wada
is an experienced, properly educated personality who through diligence,
dedication, commitment, competence and integrity rose to the top in his public
service career.
“He has the administrative
capacity, organizational capabilities as well as tremendous goodwill to
positively turn around the fast-dwindling fortunes of our dear state.
“More importantly, with our faith
in Almighty God, we are confident that our Creator will give us victory come
November 16th, 2019.”
Here are the names of members of
