Dino Melaye, governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi, says he will rebuild the state within four
years if elected governor in the November 11 off-cycle election.
Melaye spoke on Thursday during the party’s final campaign
rally in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital.
“In four years, we are going to build the new Lokoja. York
was in existence before New York came to be. Zealand was there before New
Zealand came. Delhi was there before New Delhi came,” NAN quoted Melaye as
saying.
“So by the grace of God, if you vote me in as governor, in
four years, we are going to build new Lokoja.
“Kogi is a strategic
state. It is the richest state in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are
blessed with mineral resources from uranium, to titanium, to lithium, to gold,
to crude oil.
“It is unfortunate that the only mineral that has been
tapped out of all these numerous resources is limestone. We are going to tap
the rest. We will explore them. We will develop them. We will commercialize
them.
“We will distribute them. And we will improve our IGR for
development of the state and better standard of living.”
Also speaking at the rally, Atiku Abubakar, presidential
candidate of the PDP in the 2023 elections, said Melaye is the most qualified
candidate to lead the state and urged residents to vote him as their next
governor.
