The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the upcoming gubernatorial election in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has said that he has survived four assassination attempts by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Melaye made this claim in an interview with Arise Television on Thursday, where he also lamented the plight of the Kogi people under the APC administration.
He said, “I have survived four assassination attempts; I have had 12 court cases of FG vs. Dino Melaye, and I have been attacked severally. It is not new, as it is in the DNA of the APC to be violent.”
“Kogi State is like an evil forest that needs instantaneous redevelopment and needs a messiah.”
The former senator said he hopes to be instrumental in alleviating the sufferings of those living in the state, if elected as governor.
He further said that Kogi State has never been as bad as it is now, as the state is more divided than at any other time in its history.
He blamed the APC for polarising and dividing the people, and creating serious disunity.
He said part of his agenda as the PDP candidate is to reunite the state, as his campaign slogan says “One Kogi, One Destiny.”
