The Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi State, Senator Dino says he is the man to beat in the election.

He expressed confidence that he will emerge victorious at the poll.
Melaye, insisted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and its candidate will fail woefully on November 11.
“I just want to announce that as far as this election is concerned in Kogi State, APC is history. APC has gone to oblivion.
“PDP is the party to beat in Kogi State and I assure the people of Kogi State, that my name is Daniel and Daniel is used to taming lions. I befriend lions, I kiss lions and subdue lions,” Melaye said.
Earlier, while inaugurating the campaign council for Kogi election, the Acting National Chairman of PDP, Umar Damagun, said the chances of the party emerging victorious in the coming election is bright.
“We will have Bayelsa, we will have Imo and we will have Kogi. These are PDP states.
“Somehow, they slipped away but Bayelsa has always had a PDP governor.
“I want to challenge everyone in this country to look at the states governed by PDP governors viz-a-viz the other parties. We have always excelled,” he said.
Damagun then charged members of the campaign committee to go out and “conquer.”
Also speaking ,Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, said, “the chances of the PDP in the three states are very great because we are bringing light all the way and you know when the light comes, darkness vanishes.” (vitalnewsngr.com)
