Kogi guber: I’ve survived four assassination attempts – Dino Melaye

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in
the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Kogi State, Dino Melaye has revealed
that he has survived four assassination attempts in the state.

Melaye made this revelation in an interview with Arise
Television on Thursday.

According to him, tension has been part of the lives of the
Kogi people since the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC came into power
seven years ago.

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
ameliorating the pains of those living in the state.

He further said it has never been this bad in the history of
Kogi, as the state is more divided than at any other time in the state’s
history.

He however said since the All Progressives Congress came
into power in the state, they have completely polarised and divided the people,
and there is serious disunity.

He said part of the PDP’s agenda is to first reunite the
state, as the slogan of his campaign says “One Kogi, One Destiny.”
