By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Ahead of the November 16th, governorship election in Kogi State, the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district, Dino Melaye has described himself as the messiah that would rescue the state from the hands of the incumbent governor, Yahaya Bello and take it to the promised land.

Melaye who is one of the governorship aspirants on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), noted that he has the experience to stir the state to laudable heights.

He made this known, in Lokoja, the state capital during a media parley organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kogi state chapel, after his meeting with the members of the executive of the party at the party secretariat.

The lawmaker noted that the state ,in the last three and half years, had been governed by those who lacked the expertise to take the state to the promised land, while stressing that no member of the National Assembly had the number of motions and bills he had sponsored since becoming a lawmaker. He said that was to show that he has the capacity to lead the state.

Melaye noted that he has a dream to build a ‘New Kogi’ ruled by Ideas, while banishing the hunger that is ravaging the people of the state over the last three and half years.

According to him, “Kogi State is not witnessing democracy, what we are witnessing is a government of the greedy, by the greedy and for the greedy; best put as ‘greedocracy’.

“But when I come on board as governor, I shall build a new Kogi State where ideals will revolutionise the state.

“My administration will banish hunger from the state. Kogi has no business to be poor. I shall look into agriculture and technology to turn around the economic fortune of the state.

“I have no father, uncle, In-law or godfathers to pilot my ambition, but I have the requisite requirements to face the APC candidate in the election.

“I’m also not in the race to bamboozle you, I’m in the race to take the state to the promised land. In four year, we shall make the state the economic envy of other states.

“I fear nobody, I only respect human beings. I have been arrested 18 times within the last three year and I have 12 cases in court, but I’m still standing, I have what it takes to face and rescue the state from Yahaya Bello,” he said.
