Dino Melaye Vows to Transform Kogi In 4 Years If Elected As Governor

Sen. Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Saturday’s Kogi governorship poll, has promised to revitalize the state within a four-year term if elected as governor.

Melaye said this at the party’s grand finale campaign rally held in Lokoja on Thursday

He said that over the next four years, the PDP will create a redefined Lokoja, much like the evolution of cities such as New York, New Zealand, and New Delhi from their predecessors York, Zealand, and Delhi.

“In 4 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.” Melaye said.

“So by the grace of God, if you voted me in as governor, in 4 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’s 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, ” he said.

Melaye said that he received comprehensive training as a student under former Vice-President, Abubakar Atiku.

“We will distribute them. And we will improve our IGR for development of the state and better standard of living,” he said.

The PDP candidate said that he was the most educated, experienced, and well-exposed among the 18 candidates in the running, urging residents to cast a substantial number of votes in his favor.

Also speaking, Atiku described Melaye as the most qualified candidate to lead Kogi towards progress, lifting it from poverty and backwardness.

Atiku encouraged the people of Kogi to come together in support of Melaye on Saturday, stressing the importance of casting influential votes to free the state from the toxic governance of Gov. Yahaya Bello and the APC administration.

Kanyi Daily recalls that former Kogi State Senator, Dino Melaye had won the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the Kogi Governorship Election which will hold on November 11, 2023.
