Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party’s nominee for governor of Kogi State in the election on November 11, has urged voters in the state not to succumb to intimidation by the APC, the state’s ruling party.
Melaye delivered the speech on Wednesday during a gathering of Kogi PDP supporters from the state’s three senatorial districts with the NWC members.
He said, “My charge to the people of Kogi State is that they should not be Intimidated by the APC. The threat, violence, and humiliation by the APC should not deter them from exercising their democratic rights. I want to assure you that we will protect our people.
“The PDP is going to win the election in Kogi State because we have never had it so bad in the history of the state. Our people are impoverished, salaries have not been paid, pensions have not been paid, gratuities have not been paid. The health sector is non-existent. In fact, all the general hospitals in the state are mere consulting clinics.
“Education has gone moribund and this is what the PDP is coming to ameliorate and palliate. I want to assure you that by the grace of God. With the resolutions of this meeting, with the strategy adopted in this meeting, the PDP is good to go in Kogi State.
