The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has officially unveiled
Senator Dino Melaye as its governorship candidate for the November 11th
gubernatorial election in Kogi State.
Senator Melaye was unveiled on Wednesday by key party
stakeholders in the State.
Speaking during the unveiling ceremony, the PDP governorship
flagbearer appreciated the PDP family in Kogi State and begged for forgiveness
from anyone he offended.
He said peace will be established in PDP, assuring that the
party will do things differently when they get to power.
“Dino Melaye will not be a Christian or a Muslim Governor
but a governor with the fear of God. If you have the fear of God, you won’t pay
percentage salaries. If you have the fear of God, there will be peace and
stability in the state”.
He promised to return power back to the Eastern Senatorial
Districts after eight years in office.
Earlier, the State Chairman of the party, Sam Uhuotu
appealed to indigenes to vote for his party during the governorship election in
the state.
He charged electorates to forgive the party for any of their
wrongdoings, adding that the party will wrestle power from the ruling All
Progressives Congress, (APC).
A former lawmaker representing Kogi West, Tunde Ogbeha
appealed to aggrieved party members to sheath their swords and work for the
party’s victory.
He thanked the people of Kogi East for respecting the
principle of rotation, stressing that they have applied great wisdom in
pursuing the electoral process.
Also speaking, former Kogi State Governor, Ibrahim Idris
said he would forever remain a member of the PDP.
Idris tasked party stakeholders to unite against any forces
who intend to stop their victory at the polls.
“I am here to support whoever emerges as our party
Candidate. Dino Melaye is a PDP member, why will I go and support another
party? That will be the last thing I will do. We can do it, but we have to see
ourselves as one family” he stated.
