The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, says the unity and development of the state would be his topmost priority if elected.
Melaye made this promise during a meeting with the state leaders from Kogi Central, in Abuja, on Monday.
He said the outcome of the PDP governorship primary election showcased the bond of unity among the people of the State.
Melaye said, “I will not take the massive support of my Party and generality of Kogites for granted. This support will propel me to work assiduously for the development and unity of our State.”
Earlier, the leaders of Kogi Central had endorsed his candidature while expressing confidence that he will deliver on his promises to the people.
Former Deputy Governor of the State, Chief Patrick Adaba, who spoke on behalf of the zone at the meeting, said Kogi Central will give Senator Melaye the requisite votes to win.
Adaba noted that the gubernatorial candidature of Dino will be beneficial to the people irrespective of which part of the state they come from while urging the people of Kogi West not to miss this “golden opportunity” of producing a governor.
Also speaking during the event, the former National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that the party’s candidate is a household name in the State and needs little or no introduction.
He said, “Every Kogites is aware that Dino has always fought their battles for good governance. When elected into office in November, Senator Dino will bring back the fortunes of the State”.
