The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino
Melaye, has signified his intention to join the governorship race in the
state.
The Senator made his intention known on Saturday at a meeting of
the leaders of the People’s Democratic Party, held at the Ayetoro
Country home of Major General David Jemibewon (rtd).
The media aide to the Senator, Gideon Ayodele, who confirmed the
development to a Punch correspondent on the telephone on Saturday said
that Senator Dino Melaye was responding to the call from the PDP leaders
present at the meeting, asking anyone interested in contesting to
signify intention within two weeks.
“At this point, Senator Dino Melaye stood up and informed the
meeting of his intention to join the race to Lugard House, the seat of
Kogi state government come November,” Ayodele said.
According to him, the party leaders present also threw the door
open for anyone from the Kogi West zone to inform the party within the
next two weeks to enable the party screen them and prepare to work for
the contestant.
So far, Senator Dino Melaye is the only candidate from Kogi West who has shown interest.
